Last month, Zoo Miami welcomed it's 45th giraffe birth! Born March 12th to mother Mia, the calf underwent neonatal tests in order to determine whether it's a girl or a boy, receive vaccinations, and generally assure that its health is good. The calf passed with flying colors and was given a clean bill of health. At 6 feet tall and nearly 150 pounds, this "little" girl is 5-year-old mom Mia's second offspring.

    Awwwww… Her neck isn’t any bigger than her Mommy’s head (for now…). She’s really rockin’ that faux-hawk, too.
    Welcome to life, Mia!
