Giraffe Calf Born
On April 22, the Zoo’s animal community soared to new heights with the birth of a female giraffe calf named SOFIE. The calf, weighing in at 135 pounds and standing six feet tall, was named by donor Robert McMillan after his great granddaughter.
This is the first baby for the Zoo’s female Masai giraffe, Hasina, fathered by Artimus.
