CCTV captures the moment a baby giraffe is born at U.K. safari park. Keepers at a U.K. zoo are celebrating the birth of a baby giraffe, with the special moment being caught on CCTV. The leggy youngster was born in the warmth of the giraffe house at West Midlands Safari Park to mum, 14-year-old Akacia. The moment the calf took its first steps was also captured on camera 40 minutes later, followed by its first feed and interactions with mum and adult female, Bwindi, who was with Akacia throughout the experience. A few days later, keepers and the veterinary team did a quick health check and were delighted to discover that the calf is a girl. The next steps for Namara will be for her to be introduced to the rest of the herd, including older siblings, Emali and Kris, half-brother Kingsley and dad, Rufus. Keepers then hope that she will be out and about with the rest of the herd on the Safari Drive, weather dependent, in the next few weeks.
