Another Masai giraffe is born at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

The second baby Masai giraffe in less than a month has been born backstage at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Dr. Mark Penning Vice President, Animals, Science and Environment, Disney Parks posted on his Instagram site.

The female calf was born Oct. 20, 2020, to mom Willow. The calf weighed in at 160 pounds and just over six feet tall. She also has not yet been named.

After this new calf enjoys bonding time with mom, she will join the herd on the savanna – usually in a few weeks. For now, the calf is nursing and staying close to mom.
