Record-breaking giraffe calf born at Brevard Zoo
Standing at 6’4”, Brevard Zoo’s newest addition is the tallest giraffe ever born at the facility. After a gestation period lasting more than a year, 14-year-old Milenna gave birth to the male calf early on Monday morning. The two will remain behind the scenes for several weeks.
The little one is the second giraffe born at the Zoo in under four months. A female, who has yet to be named, was born to Johari on November 29, 2015. 17-year-old Rafiki is the father of both calves.
“Our team conducted a neonatal exam on Tuesday afternoon and everything looks good so far,” said Michelle Smurl, the Zoo’s director of animal programs. “He’s very energetic, which is always a positive sign.”
Six of the Zoo’s seven giraffe belong to the Masai subspecies, which is native to Tanzania and southern Kenya. Habitat loss, poaching, disease and civil unrest pose the most significant threats to wild giraffe.
