Giraffe gives Birth at the San Diego Zoo - 8/19/08

[SlaveToTheTheater]

Giraffe births are very honest:

0:25 Welcome to the world....

0:49 ... it sucks.

THUMBS UP IF THIS WAS IN THE RELATED VIDEOS OF TRUTH OR FAIL'S MOTHER'S DAY EDITION!!!

[fahrenheitlover12]

[MrSombrero100]

GET OUTTA THERE YOU LITTLE FREAK

lol

[charmedgirl90]

the giraffe are meant to give birth this way. when the baby giraffe hits the ground it breaks the sack around it and also gives it a shock so it starts breathing. like babies get smacked on the bottom so they start crying/ breathing

[blueeyesaf]

I thought that they were born in blue sacks. They are unconscience when their born, and they get dropped like 6 feet or something, not very fun. But house cats are born with underdeveloped eyes, if any light got in they would be blind for the rest of their lives, again not to fun I assume.

[iWinEpicly]

I didn't know that when the baby giraffes come out of their mom's belly, they fall down to the ground!

[yomama629]

Didn't you learn that in second grade like the rest of us?

[Secret2Go]

[Vishnubus]

[Smilepink234]

I was only expecting one thing to come out xD the baby.. And what do you know? A load of pee.. bAHAHAHA poor baby

[yomama629]

It's the placenta genius

[kaleicorona]

ok yah its not funny funny that it whent head down first cus its just nature

[SnowflakeCheese]

i thinks its dead, but the mom took a dump r something after

[IBeDazzled]

The baby is supposed to fall head first and the lumpier the head the more attractive it is to the other giraffes. :P

I visited just recently and the giraffes is doing great

[shelbadiahhh]

SMACK! down goes the baby lol. thank you. ive always wanted to see that.

[peter26dudelocuaz]

a film to remember..for a long time!!!

[sissboombuzz]

it hit the concrete!!

[phishshtick]

No fetus or baby is in the "stomach", its in the uterus of every mammal that gives live births. And the newborn giraffe is very fragile and week for the first 5 minutes of being outside of the womb but will eventually stand up within the first 30 minutes.

[mikestamlo]

my god, that was gruesome. i like the way the mother was chewing cud/grass/something the whole time lol.

[TheSillydilly1234]

why isin't it moving?

why didn't some hep it.

bloody morons

[hotdayum]

baby giraffes fall from a height of 6 feet when born, wiiild.

[TheLupita444]

[wbaskin]

death on impact

[daltiepoo]

what was the yellow stuff?

[webkinzgirl292]

that was urine and the bubble type stuff that the baby is in when its in the stomache! learned that at vet camp

[membrain525]

ew thats gross

[shloymi123]

is it dead

[willyannesnoek]

i don't know?! iell!

[wakko120]

baby daniel

[Sahira8CiCi]

In the wild, giraffes always give birth standing up, causing the baby to fall. They're constant prey so it's not mean at all.

[Broodstar1337]

Love how it just plops on the ground.

[paintitblack9400]

gross... it didnt really seem to phase the giraffe

[runescape2215]

flaggedforpve flaggedforpve was it alive please ???? :P

[mooshimanx]

Yes the baby giraffe was alive and well. We came by about an hour later and he was walking around.

[mattmtz8]

@mooshimanx BULLSHIT. That giraffe died from the fall and you and i know it. Go fuck yourself

[gardengumdrop]

@mattmtz8 you idiot, they are meant to survive the drop. All giraffe's come from there and come out the same way. It survived.

[ALoveForOrcas]

@mattmtz8 . . uh no . . all giraffes are born like that, the 6-7ft drop starts the babie's heart. It takes the baby 1-2minutes before the baby starts moving. If the mother lays down she can kill the baby giraffe by crushing it. They are 100% supposed to be standing up when giving birth. That's how it works :)

[qbearsmommy]

@runescape2215 They have been doing this forever. Come on now.

[lilcitygirl16]

was the calf alive? lol

[LeXy95kAyLaSbF]

Is it alive! OMG!

[FlaggedForPVE]

[freakaleak114]

[crystal52720]

[mmyddybby08]
