Whipsnade Zoo’s giraffe herd is now up to five, and includes the calf’s siblings Myra and Timba, who are being kept separate from her until she is strong enough to venture outside.
Connor Corrigan, team leader of large hoofstock at Whipsnade Zoo, said: “The calf is happy, healthy, and very energetic.
“She was on her feet within an hour of being born, and has already been putting those long legs to use by going for exploratory runs around the indoor den.”
He added: “Luna is a phenomenal mother – this is her fifth calf, and she’s very attentive and nurturing.”
