The Newest, Cutest Baby Animals from the World's Zoos & Aquariums

Dublin Zoo’s Newest and Tallest Addition!

Posted in ,

Yesterday, Dublin Zoo shared the first pictures of its newest arrival, a female Giraffe calf!  The calf, which measures nearly six feet tall, was born to mother Maeve on November 4th at 8.15pm and is yet to be named. This is the first calf born to mother Maeve since she arrived to Dublin Zoo from Fota Wildlife Park in 2009. Maeve successfully bred with bull giraffe Robin and after a 15 month gestation period the new calf was born.

    That last pic screams, “Don’t hate us because we’re beautiful.”

    So beautiful! I love giraffes so much. We had a calf born to our Como Zoo in St. Paul. They are just so sweet.
