A baby giraffe has taken its first steps at a zoo in Colorado.

The young female, who is six feet tall, was born to 10-year-old reticulated giraffe Msitu at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo on Saturday.

Zoo staff were able to discern the giraffe’s sex the after she was born but will wait around a month before naming her.

A giraffe pregnancy lasts around 15 months.
