This adorable wobbly-legged, unnamed male Baringo giraffe calf is the latest addition to the city's collection of adorable animals. He was born this past winter to parents Margaret Sukari and James Michael, who are also giraffes, and is now on display at the African Plains exhibit. Welcome, friend!

Baringo giraffes are commonly found in western Kenya and eastern Uganda, and newborns can be as large as six feet tall when they're born, eventually reaching the gargantuan height of up to 17 feet.
Other wonderful baby creatures you can find at The Bronx Zoo this summer include baby lemurs, new baby gorillas and baby red panda cubs, though the latter have likely transformed into angst-ridden teen pandas by now.
