Baby giraffe born 18th November at Whipsnade Zoo WHILE STARGAZERS were searching the skies for the Leonids meteor display last week, zookeepers at Whipsnade Zoo in Bedfordshire were observing their own other-worldly spectacle – the birth of a giraffe calf. After a 15-month gestation period, the female reticulated giraffe calf was born to aptly named mum Luna at 8:50am on Tuesday 18 November, with her devoted keepers monitoring both throughout the birth. The precious newborn will be named by the conservation zoo's members, who will vote on a celestial-themed shortlist of names suggested by zookeepers, to celebrate the calf's arrival during the meteor shower. The chosen name will be revealed on the conservation zoo's Instagram next week., Credit:Whipsnade Zoo / Avalon
