There were no complications with the birth, but because the calf landed in an awkward position, safari director Adam Guiher and senior zookeepers intervened briefly to untangle the calf.
About an hour later, the calf had made its debut. Labor was reported in the barn where the giraffes stay overnight at around 7 a.m. “Giraffe births are a rare occurrence which has not happened in our area for close to 2 years,” a news release from Keystone Safari said. The Grove City safari announced Saturday morning that famous local giraffes Levi and Blue Jeans welcomed the calf at 6 foot, 3 inches tall and 164 pounds - on the “large side” - at about 8 a.m. Submitted PhotoĪ female giraffe calf was born Friday morning at Keystone Safari.
