Newborn Baby Giraffee
Most
babies measuring 5ft would be considered big, but newborn giraffe, Margaret, at
Chester Zoo, UK is seen as unusually small for her species. HOW SWEET!! She is
one of the smallest giraffes ever born at Chester Zoo but pint-sized Margaret
will soon be an animal to look up to.
Little Margaret, who is the first
female Rothschild giraffe born at the zoo, is being hand-reared by her dedicated
keepers. The first calf for six-year-old mum Fay, Margaret, who was born two
weeks early, tipped the scales at just 34 kilos and is a mere 5ft
tall.
Tim Rowland's, team leader of the Giraffes section, said: 'Margaret
is potentially one of the smallest giraffe calves we have ever seen. Fay isn't
the largest of giraffes and Margaret was also early which might go some way to
explaining her size. 'Margaret was having difficulty suckling so our keeping
team are hand-rearing her'.

O.K. I'll have our Kangaroo, "Roo" come over and escort a few of your fine animals on a walkabout with us sometimes. I'll be sure to mention that they are visiting us from your place. Mark
