Newest Safari West giraffe named after Golden State Warriors
Safari West has named its newest baby giraffe “Dubs,” in honor of the Golden State Warriors, whose fans are called Dub Nation.
Dubs, a male who was born Nov. 28, is the second new giraffe at the wildlife park north of Santa Rosa. A baby girl named Nikki was born Nov. 8.
In a news release, Safari West said his “energetic” and “uptempo” personality made him particularly well-suited to a Warriors-inspired name.
Dubs will soon dwarf even the tallest player on the Warriors. He weighed 122 pounds at birth and was measured at 6 feet, just 3 inches shorter than MVP Stephen Curry.
