A new home for the giraffes at the Abilene Zoo is in the planning stages.

Tuesday morning the parks and recreation board approved a holding area for the giraffes, which would also be available to hold any animal with hooves.

The animals would stay in this facility when any cleaning or maintenance was being done in their exhibit.

Abilene City Council will be presented with the proposal later this month.
