Nashville, Stop What You're Doing And Look At This Baby Giraffe

NASHVILLE, TN — Need something to get you through Tuesday after a long weekend? Look at this baby giraffe.

This baby giraffe, who is both adorable and cute, was born last week at the Nashville Zoo. The name of this baby giraffe, who is just the best, is Mazi, which is short — the name is short, not the giraffe himself, who is both tall and has the most downright lovable face at the end of his long and cuddly neck — for "Mazingira Magumu," which means "vulnerable" is Swahili. "Vulnerable," you say? Does he need someone to give him scratches and hugs? Line forms behind Patch.

Mazi is 6-feet-3-inches of ohmygodheisjustsogreat and 173 pounds of pleaseletmehangoutwithyou.

Mazi is the fifth absolutely wonderful calf of Margarita. The zoo says when things warm up, Mazi will make his public debut so we can all just stand agog in front of him and talk to each other about how stinking cute he is all day long.

Seriously:
