Philadelphia Zoo Giraffes Stella and Baby - First Day Outside

[awesomeH2O]

Well, raising a baby animal is hard, especially large species. The Zoo never had the space to breed animals like elephants or hippos and create family groups.

@awesomeH2O I believe they should use the space they have more efficiently. Too much space is used for things like the Carousel, the camel rides, the Treehouse, the ZooBalloon, etc.

[awesomeH2O]

@ZooVisitorMM True. But the Zoo never seemed to have an exhibit large enough to have a real family group of elephants.

@awesomeH2O Where there's a will, there's a way. I think what was lacking was the will, not the space.

[awesomeH2O]

I did not think that the Zoo wanted to breed some of the larger animals.

@awesomeH2O Why not?

70 videos? Playing favorites, are we? Hehe, just messing you with! Great video, as usual! Very cute too!

Adorable! Thanks for posting. Nothing says "gangly" like a baby giraffe.

@TomChair Expect to see lots of videos of her as she grows. ( I recorded 70 already!) She is definitely adorable, and she already has a distinct personality, too!
