Yesterday, Zoo Miami’s newborn giraffe made her exhibit debut where she cautiously explored her new surroundings.  Her mom, Sabra, was attentive but allowed the calf to venture towards the other individuals in the herd and was greeted by curiosity, along with smells and licks from most of them.  The yet unnamed calf is nursing and appears to be doing well as she is now fully integrated into the herd of 9.  It is expected that she and her mother will now remain with the herd and be on exhibit with them moving forward.
