Giraff Calf Born at Brevard Zoo

At six feet and 152 pounds, Brevard Zoo’s newest resident is a bit larger than most babies (or fully-grown humans, for that matter). After a 15-month gestation period, mother Johari gave birth to the female giraffe calf on Sunday morning.

The newborn is not expected to make its public debut for several weeks while she bonds with her mother behind the scenes. In the meantime, the public is encouraged to monitor the Zoo’s social media channels for updates.
 
“Mom and baby are both doing very well,” said Michelle Smurl, director of animal programs at the Zoo. “We’re keeping a very close eye on them, which is critically important in the early stages of life.”
