Denver Zoo Welcomes a Baby Giraffe
Most of the world has their eyes on April, the giraffe at Animal Adventure Park in New York, waiting for her to give birth via the live feed that has taken over your timeline.
While we've been watching April, the Denver Zoo has announced the birth of Dobby, a baby giraffe that was born to mom Kipele at 3 a.m. Tuesday morning. Dobby weighed in at 73-lbs and measured five-feet-tall.
Zookeepers didn't realize Kipele was pregnant as she was on birth control.
