Little Angry DollIntroducing Irwin the Baby Giraffe
October 22nd 2006 01:47
My aunt is a volunteer at Jacksonville Zoo, in Florida, and in early September, she was lucky enough to witness the birth of their new baby giraffe.
The animals there are initially given a “Barn Name”, then the official naming is either offered to sponsors or auctioned off as fund raising events. This beautiful little fellow’s Barn Name was Caesar.
The official naming was given to the sponsors who, in remembrance of Steve Irwin, named the baby giraffe “Irwin”.
This is Irwin and his mum, out for the public.
Thanks to my aunt for the stunning pictures.

I can hear the mum saying "i know your wobbly legs and long neck are a bit hard to steer Irwin, but you'll get used to them"
thanks so for sharing Irwin (and to your Aunt too)

Thanks for dropping by. The first picture was taken when he was only a day old. My aunt didn't bring her camera on the day he was born, which must have been a first for her.
