Baby Giraffe Born at Orana Wildlife Park
Tunu and Mum
A ‘gorgeous’ giraffe calf was born early this morning at Orana Wildlife Park!
Animal Collection Manager, Ian Adams, had the delight of finding the calf: “It is a strong and healthy calf and mother, Tunu, is doing really well too. The calf is drinking like it’s going out of fashion! We are yet to determine the sex of the baby.
The father of the calf was Harold, who sadly died in June. The gorgeous baby is his lasting legacy.” concludes Ian.
The calf and Tunu have access to their Giraffe House but are viewable to the public when they venture outside.
