The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens announced the birth of a baby giraffe who immediately stole the hearts of staff members and visitors.
"This sweet giraffe calf has captured the hearts of the community,'' said RoxAnna Breitigan, director of Animal Care."Many of our guests had a front-row seat along the guest pathway and hearing their collective excitement as the calf was born and began to stand was a true delight.''
The giraffe stands at 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighs around 143 pounds. She was born to mother Shellie Muujiza and father Kelley. The calf will nurse for nine to 12 months and double her size in the first year of her life. The calf will be introduced to the giraffe savanna enclosure at the zoo next week, according to Scott.
Hello Baby! We are excited to share that this morning, a giraffe calf was born on the giraffe savanna habitat. Mom and calf are bonding and doing well. The calf’s well-baby veterinary exam is scheduled for tomorrow morning. More details to come!
