KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Zoo Negara here has a new addition following the birth of a female giraffe calf on April 18. “The fifth giraffe calf born last year only survived five months and died of a bacterial infection,” he told Bernama. “As soon as the mother giraffe began her gestation period, thorough preparations were made including isolating the parent. “The mother giraffe appears to accept her presence, unlike her response to the previous births, but is still reluctant to suckle her. “After completing a health check, the young giraffe has been shown to the public for the past two weeks, and it has become one of the latest attractions at Zoo Negara,” he said.
