Czech zoo presents unusually tall newborn giraffe

The zoo in the north Bohemian town of Ustí nad Labem has seen the birth of an unusually tall baby giraffe. The newborn, which was presented to the public on Wednesday, measured 203 centimeters at birth, which is roughly 40 centimeters above the average height for babies of the species. The zoo has been breeding giraffes since 1983 and has not seen the birth of such a tall specimen before.
