A Northern giraffe calf has been born at West Midlands Safari Park in England – making it the park’s first baby of the year.
It’s already six feet tall, and took its first wobbly steps just 40 minutes after it was born on Tuesday.
Its birth is great news for the park. Northern giraffes are listed as vulnerable to extinction on the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List, which means that they face a high risk of extinction in the wild.
Keepers says they are “over the moon” about the cute new arrival and say the calf and mum, Arusha, are both doing well.
