Moment rare Rothschild’s giraffe is born at Chester Zoo
Conservationists at Chester Zoo are celebrating as the incredible moment a rare Rothschild’s giraffe is born was caught live on CCTV cameras.
Footage shows the rare Rothschild’s giraffe calf, who already weighs 70kg and stands at six foot tall, falling onto a bed of soft straw before stumbling to its feet for the very first time.
Tens of thousands of Rothschild’s giraffes were once found in Kenya, Uganda and Sudan. However their population has suffered a 90% decline - leaving just 2,500 in the wild. The good news is, the population is now starting to bounce back thanks to decades of conservation efforts from the zoo and its partners.
