LOOK – Denver Zoo welcomes new baby giraffe

Mar 7, 2025, 5:02 PM | Updated: Mar 8, 2025, 6:55 am

It may not have been as publicized as April the Giraffe’s pregnancy and baby delivery in 2017, but it’s still just as cute, and a lot closer to home!

Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance announced on Friday (Mar. 7) that BB, a 4-year-old female reticulated giraffe, has given birth.

For now, BB and her baby will remain in the indoor habitat, which will be temporarily closed to the public. The calf will soon be introduced to dad Jasiri and fellow herd member Dobby.

In the meantime, Denver Zoo will provide a livestream. The zoo will share details about the livestream at a later date.

This is the first giraffe born at the Denver Zoo since the 2017 birth of Dobby, who is now the oldest giraffe in their herd.
