Big Baby With Attitude to Match? Meet Woodland Park Zoo's Baby Giraffe
The zoo is showing off its newest arrival, and some people think he doesn't look too pleased.
We know, all parents think their newborn babies are beautiful.
We have to agree on this one. Woodland Park Zoo is showing off its newest sweet face. In a post on the Seattle zoo's website, staff introduces the world to the just-born baby giraffe:
Woodland Park Zoo’s newest little one is in fact quite big: taller than some of its zookeepers, even! Welcome to the world a 5½-foot-tall giraffe, born to 6-year-old mom Olivia last night, August 6 at 7:03 p.m. The labor lasted about 1.5 hours and the little one was already standing just another 1.5 hours after birth.
Some people think the little calf has some attitude rivaling Grumpy Cat. What do you think is going through its mind? Tell us in the comments.
