Giraffe, Sally has given birth to a female calf: In terms of cuteness, the not-so-little bundle of joy born at Australia Zoo is head and shoulders above the rest. The zoo, on Queensland's Sunshine Coast, has announced its resident giraffe Sally had given birth to her second baby - a female calf. With giraffes enduring a 15-month gestation period, the pregnancy was likely a pain in the neck for Sally, but staff say it was worth it to continue Australia Zoo's successful breeding program. The yet-to-be-named calf, who measured just under two metres tall, is the fourth giraffe to be born at the zoo in two years, joining sister Tulip and half sisters Skye and Lily. The calf was the fourth born at Australia Zoo in the past two years. The calf was the fourth born at Australia Zoo in the past two years. Photo: Ben Beaden "Sally is being really attentive to her new baby which is a great sign and they're both doing very well health-wise," the zoo's head of African animals, Manu Ludden, said on Wednesday. "All our giraffe are extremely sweet-natured and are very relaxed around the new calf, but as with any family with a new baby, they are very inquisitive of our new addition." The calf's name will be chosen at the Steve Irwin Gala Dinner in Los Angeles on Saturday. Held in the late Crocodile Hunter's honour, the dinner raises funds for the Wildlife Warriors charity, which supports conservation initiatives around the world.
