Auckland Zoo has welcomed its 29th giraffe calf.
The 55kg calf is being given some time to bond with its mother, but Auckland Zoo says visitors can expect to see them out and about in a few weeks.
The 1.8 metre tall male has undergone vet checks and been declared in good health. He is the third off-spring of nine-year-old mum Rukiya and 11-year-old dad Zabulu.
