Baby Giraffe Born On Video
Ever since seeing giraffes in the wild in Africa, Carrie and I have been rather averse to giraffes (or any animal really) in the zoo.
While zoos are great for being exposed to lots of different kinds of animals, there are lots of things about keeping animals in captivity which just don’t allow people to see the animals for how and what they really are.
One good thing about the zoo though is that because the animals are watched regularly, some pretty amazing moments can be caught on video.
Kevin Fanter showed this video to Carrie and me of a baby giraffe being born in a zoo. We really enjoyed it, and wanted to share it with you.
