Rare Rothschild's giraffe born at UK's Chester Zoo

Chester Zoo in the UK have captured the first moments of a rare Rothschild's giraffe after it was born at the enclosure. The calf, born on last Saturday, getting to its feet and walking hesitantly over to his mother for a first feed.Keepers have named the new male calf Stanley after Mount Stanley, the tallest mountain in Uganda in Africa, where the zoo's conservationists are fighting to boost giraffe numbers.
Across Africa, giraffes are listed as vulnerable to extinction by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN).Rothschild's giraffes are still one of Africa's most at-risk mammals as habitat loss to make way for mining, urban development or agricultural farming, as well as poaching for their skin, tails or meat has crashed their numbers.
