Almost all animals experience frenetic random activity periods (FRAPs). Most people call this the zoomies. We’ve seen a baby donkey with zoomies, a baby porcupine, a deer fawn, and even an adult camel. Watching any animal zoom around is a sure way to bring smiles to even the grumpiest of grumps. So, without further ado, we bring you baby giraffe zoomies that might be the most adorable thing on the planet.

No one knows every reason that animals get the zoomies. There are many educated guesses. The most frequent “excuse” offered is excess energy. Animals undergo similar phases to human children. The toddler phase is when you will see most FRAPs. Like a rubber band that is stretched, that energy needs an outlet or a release. Sometimes, even the safari keepers get the zoomies.
Other possible causes for FRAPs can include over- or understimulation, anxiety, or being overwhelmed with outside stimuli. A tired, overstimulated animal may exhibit zoomies in an attempt to stay awake, as they don’t want to miss anything.
Our baby giraffe with the zoomies lives at the Alabama Safari Park. The drive-thru park stands on 350 acres and is home to more than 700 animals. While visiting the park, patrons may drive through in their vehicle, seeing abundant wildlife roaming the grounds. On the Village Walk-Thru, visitors get an up close look at some at the animals, including several petting areas. Patrons can feed the animals during the safari drive or at the giraffe tower.
As the baby giraffe circles its mom during its zoomies, we can laugh, and marvel at the skill it is exhibiting at such a young age. Follow the Alabama Safari Park on TikTok for more.
