A Very Special Giraffe Arrival

For the second time in almost 20 years, Melbourne Zoo is celebrating the birth of a giraffe calf. Born to mum Iris and dad Klintun, the new addition joins Tambi who was born in August last year.

The new arrival is also wonderful news for the herd’s social dynamic, with the herd's two mums supporting each other as they care for their calves, their little ones growing up together – learning, playing and exploring side by side.
