We announce the birth of a new member of the Giraffe family! She is a “small” female born on June 26th, 1.60m at birth!
This is the second cub of Hadiza, aged 9.
In this species, gestation is long: 14 months! The birth takes place standing up, and after the “landing”, the mother licks and stimulates her young so that it pulls itself up on its s4 large legs and can suck. A giraffe enjoys its mother’s milk for 9 to 12 months, being able to drink up to 12 liters per day!
