This past Sunday the Niabi Zoo in the Quad Cities area, welcomed a new baby giraffe calf. The baby was expected later in the week and staff were surprised to meet the new baby boy when they went in for a routine check on the mother Mimi. After the baby has matured, he will most likely move to another AZA insitution as part of the interzoo breeding program.

Congratulations to Mimi! I had five natural childbirth, two with forcepts and one breech. I cannot, however imagine giving birth to a giraffe!
