This beautiful giraffe featured in the video is called Sarabi. Sarabi recently became a mother as you will see in this clip. This is the second time in just a few months that a baby reticulated giraffe has been born at the Memphis Zoo. Sarabi gave birth to a female calf amidst a throng of awed spectators.
The most amazing part is that the baby started walking and nursing in just a few minutes right after she was born. Zookeeper Richard Meek was surprised. He said, “Giraffes usually stand within an hour of being born. This one stood and started nursing very quickly, so we were very pleased.” The cheering onlookers made the moment even more spectacular!
In this clip you can see the entire birth of this adorable baby giraffe. I’m sure many of the children watching were especially amazed. The video starts with just the front feet of the baby emerging from the mother. Then the head comes out, and for a long time, that was all that happened.
But when the baby was halfway out, and spectators could see the sac that the baby was in, the baby quickly came out and landed with a thump on the ground. This may seem harsh, but this landing is part of the birthing process and aids in blood flow and breathing. Afterwards, the baby took only a few minutes. before attempting to stand.
