The KC Zoo Welcomes a new Baby Giraffe

Kansas City Zoo

Our giraffe herd just grew by four hooves. On Tuesday, September 3, at 3:50 pm, mom Lizzie gave birth to a baby giraffe. The calf weighed in at 111 pounds and already stands 5 feet, 6 inches tall. A neo-natal exam performed last week showed that our calf is in good health and we now know IT’S A GIRL! She has been bonding with her mom behind the scenes but is making her exhibit debut today!
