And now , we can add baby giraffes to the list . The most recent plus to the domain of baby fauna comes to us from Zoo Miami in Florida . Last week , zookeepers welcomed the 54th sister giraffe to be born at the menagerie , a manful sura to 14 - year - old Mia and 4 - year - old Malcolm , the according to the menagerie ’s Facebook post announcing their arrival .
After drop the first few Clarence Shepard Day Jr. of his life isolated with Mia so that momma and baby could bond , the yet - unidentified , 181 - lb infant son was being introduced to the rest of the giraffe residential district just as 6 - class - old Zuri was bring the zoo ’s 55th babe into the reality ! This one , a healthy female babe , librate 118 pounding at nascence and also call up Malcolm papa .
Fun — or rather , alarming — fact : Mama giraffes do n’t lie down when they give birth , so newborn Giraffa camelopardalis fall 4–6 substructure to the ground when they ’re birth .
zoological garden staff has kept a close-fitting eye on both calf , and neonatal exam show both giraffes to be healthy and potent . Now , while Mia ’s male child gets used to the new milieu of the giraffe exhibit , Zuri will spend the next few 24-hour interval breast feeding and attach with her baby lady friend before introduce her to the humankind sometime next week .
Neither baby has been named , yet and the zoological garden has n’t let go of any declaration on how names will be chosen . in person , I ’m hoping they go with an internet pate , because those alwaysturn out so well .
