The Sacramento Zoo is Celebrating the Birth of a Masai Giraffe Calf!

The Sacramento Zoo is Celebrating the Birth of a Masai Giraffe Calf!
Shani the giraffe gave birth to a female calf on Sunday, January 22, at 12:28pm. Her zookeepers noted signs of an impending birth on January 18, and Shani was moved into the maternity stall of the giraffe barn to be monitored. Although animal care and veterinary teams were suspicious that she might still be pregnant, just not on her original timeline, there were no definitive signs until very recently.
We are thrilled to announce that Shani’s calf is healthy and nursing well from mom. The pair will be given bonding time but may be visible at their habitat’s side yard periodically over the next few weeks. The official debut date will be dependent on the health and welfare of mom and calf. Keep an eye out on SacZoo’s social media pages for when this new addition to the herd will be visible!

La verdad es que tienen que estar haciendo en todos los zoos en general, una labor brillante, porque uno de los indicativos de que éstos animales están bien, es que son capaces de reproducirse, de llevar a término esos embarazos que algunos son más largos que los del ser humano. Me parece fascinante ver éstas nuevas vidas, como van creciendo fuertes y sanas. Mis felicitaciones a todos los cuidadores de Zoo, sois héroes!!! 🙏🏼🙋🏻‍♀️🇪🇸
