The world has one more giraffe today than it did yesterday! It is not often that you witness a giraffe birth in the wild as our team did in Botswana’s Northern Tuli Game Reserve. Baby giraffe are born equipped with special features to aid their passage into the world, such as soft ossicones and smooth ‘booties’ that cover their usually sharp-edged hooves to protect the mother during birth. With new additions like this one, we remain hopeful for the future of these iconic creatures. EarthRanger, Wild Me, Mashatu Game Reserve, Natural Selection Travel, Wild at Tulli.
