This short article from the United Kingdom welcomes the new born baby giraffe named Margret. This baby was born to the Chester zoo of the United Kingdom at justĀ 35 kilos, and only 5 feet tall. she is the first calf of her mother Fay and was born two weeks early. along with being her mothers first baby she is also the first female giraffe born at this zoo. Aside from being the first female giraffe born at the soo she is also the smallest they have ever seen so she is being hand raised by the keepers at the zoo. Although she is small the zoo has large hopes for this small giraffe.
I find it interesting that of all the animals born in zoos every day they chose to write about a giraffe. I think it is good that people in this world arent only focused with things that have to do with humans but also with things that have to do with animals. Especially species that arent very large. I suppose that that could be one reason that this particular paper chose to write about a giraffe being born. None the less i find it interesting that someone would take the time to write about my favorite animal the giraffe.

First of all, I think the name Margaret is just perfect for a baby giraffe. And, I can’t believe that the giraffe at 5′ is considered very small! You have two entries on zoo animals, now. Is this something you are interested in pursuing in the future?
