On July 30, 2009 a giraffe was born at the Hogle Zoo in Utah! We happened to be visiting the next day and got to see this brand new guy! He is so cute! He won't be so little for long. Giraffe's grow an inch a day when they are first born. It was so tender watching the mommy nursing and getting the baby to walk around. It amazing how instinctive motherhood is!  Definitely not something you see everyday!
