Auckland Zoo is celebrating the arrival of its latest giraffe calf - a 1.8m female to 13-year-old giraffe mum Rukiya.
The sixth offspring for Rukiya and 17-year-old dad Zabulu was born just after 10pm on Thursday 23 April.
You can see the baby giraffe in a video recorded when it was just 30 minutes old.
"Rukiya took about an hour and half to deliver this little one, which is on a par with most giraffe deliveries," says Auckland Zoo's Pridelands team leader, Nat Sullivan, who witnessed the birth.
