Park Zoo welcomes baby giraffe

Zoo keepers at the Park Zoo welcomed a baby giraffe into the world Tuesday morning.So far, mother and calf are bonding. We will continue to keep a close eye on the new family over the next several weeks," Martin Ramirez, a zoo mammal curator, said in a news release.Zoo keepers say the calf’s gender has not been determined yet and the baby giraffe has not been named.
"Within a week or two, we expect the newborn to follow mom to the outdoor area of the barn where visitors will be able to see them," Ramirez said. "Viewing is expected to be sporadic since the family also will have access to the off-view barn."
