Keepers at Africa Alive have welcomed a second birth of a giraffe calf in under a month.

The female calf was delivered without any complications on Friday 23 October.

It's the second birth at the zoo in just under a month, with a male giraffe calf being born 17 days prior to mother Kibibi.

Before these two births, Kibibi was actually the last giraffe born at Africa Alive back in 2014 to mother Kiara, making Kiara a grandmother now.
