A calf has been born to a giraffe described as a “super mom” by the zoo where she lives.
Twelve-year-old Tessa gave birth to her fourth calf in the early hours of Sunday morning at Cincinnati Zoo.
The birth also meant that 11-year-old Kimba became a father for the sixth time on Fathers Day.
They are able to walk almost immediately and Tessa’s latest baby was no exception – the calf, whose sex is not yet known, was on its feet within an hour.
