The baby giraffe calves who were born at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo on consecutive days, Tuesday and Wednesday, March 23 and 24, 2010, are doing great. These are two of the three anticipated births this spring from the Zoo’s renowned giraffe herd. The two young giraffes, both male calves, have been nursing really well from their mothers and both are in good health after having their first neo-natal examinations on March 26, 2010.
The boys were introduced to each other and a few other adult giraffes on Tuesday, March 30. They had a wonderful time getting to know on another, and they both attempted to nurse off of any “big” giraffe who walked by. Watch the video below for a behind the scenes look at the babies since they were born.
