Tulsa Zoo’s 5-year-old reticulated giraffe, Zoe, gave birth to a calf on Friday, Feb. 21. While we had initially estimated she would deliver later this spring, she was well within her expected birthing window, and our animal care and veterinary teams were fully prepared. Both Zoe and her calf are doing well. The calf stood just 28 minutes after birth and began walking three minutes later. The calf is also latching and nursing well, and our teams are closely monitoring for additional milestones. So far, the calf appears healthy and strong. Zoe and her calf will be visible periodically at the Osage Casino and Hotel Giraffe Barn. Keep following our social channels for additional updates!
