Hope it survives. The Dallas Zoo had one born and then within a short time (month? weeks?) the little thing ran into a wall and was killed. It was so sad.

I don't think it's had any milk yet... I wonder how long that takes!

Thanks crimsoncat05! I can't get over how casual she seemed about the birth, and how quickly baby was holding up its head on that long neck. |

I don't think it's had any milk yet... I wonder how long that takes! I know that since they are prey, their bodies do start moving (standing and walking) in the first hour. Hopefully happen soon. This zoo is really fortunate with how many successful births they have. Cannot wait to see this little one. The zoo had a baby hippo this spring and he brings in the crowds. |

We just happened to be at the Oklahoma City Zoo when a baby giraffe was born at the Oklahoma City Zoo in 1995. The baby was born in the regular outdoor giraffe enclosure and we just happened to be walking by and saw a big crowd gathered. The Oklahoma City bombing had just happened a few days before and it seemed like a such a hopeful event in the midst of so much tragedy.
