COLORADO SPRINGS - Muziki, a 20-year-old giraffe at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, gave birth to a female calf around 8:20 p.m. Monday night, according to a release from the zoo.
The calf needed a little assistance from animal care and veterinary staff in order to stand but now seems to be doing well walking and nursing from Muziki.
The calf is approximately 5' 8" tall and weighs around 120 pounds, although exact measurements have not yet been taken.
Laikipia, the Zoo's second pregnant giraffe, has not yet shown signs of labor but is also due any day.
