Zoo celebrates birth of endangered baby giraffe
The birth of a baby giraffe made Christmas extra special at a Yorkshire zoo.
The calf is “already up and about” after being born at Flamingo Land resort during the festive period.
The zoo posted a picture of the new arrival, which is a member of the endangered Rothschild’s giraffe sub-species.
