The newborn is a reticulated giraffe, an endangered species that was added to The International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List in 2018. Zoo officials are hoping the attention paid to the spotless newborn will help conservation efforts.
“The international coverage of our patternless baby giraffe has created a much-needed spotlight on giraffe conservation. Wild populations are silently slipping into extinction, with 40% of the wild giraffe population lost in just the last three decades,” Tony Bright, the founder of Brights Zoo said in a press release.
