In addition, Six Flags added though Coral faced some early challenges (difficulty standing), she has overcome them with the support of the dedicated team at Wild Safari.

Currently housed in one of the giraffe barns, preparations are underway to reintroduce Coral back to the herd in time for Opening Day, which is on March 29th. I personally can't wait to meet Coral, and it will be exciting for everyone who visits the park.
