Rare giraffe born in Chester Zoo baby boom

Keepers and conservationists at Chester Zoo are celebrating the birth of a rare giraffe.

The Rothschild giraffe calf, the world’s most endangered sub-species of giraffe, was born to first-time mum Orla after a 14 ½ month pregnancy.

Despite being just a few days old the calf, which keepers have named Millie, is already towering over them at six feet high.

Millie follows two Asian elephants, two black rhinos, two Sumatran orangutans, two giant otter pups, an okapi and more in being born in the last six months
