Cuteness Alert: Baby Giraffe Born At Houston Zoo

HOUSTON, TX — Who doesn't love a baby giraffe? They have beautiful eyes and eyelashes, they like to cuddle with their mothers, and they even seem to smile. What's not to like? If you want to see a baby giraffe up close, you're lucky, because Tyra, who lives in the Houston Zoo, gave birth to one on Monday.

The baby, who has not been named, was born at 9:04 a.m., and she's indeed a cutie. The zoo has a webcam set up, and you can view it by clicking here.

And speaking of the zoo, here's a fun thing for the entire family: the Animal Egg Hunt. It takes place on Friday, April 14, from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m.

Join us as our animals participate in their very own Animal Egg Hunt! Our gorillas, meerkats, and even the elephants are receiving their own egg-themed enrichment throughout the day. Visit them at their habitats in the Houston Zoo and see them hunt, eat, and play with eggs of all sizes!
This event is included with your paid Zoo admission and is free for Zoo Members.
