Giraffe baby Nov 2025 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
