Southeast Net, May 24th (Strait Herald reporter Kang Zehui Wu Shuyuan correspondent Qiu Jiawei) What? 14 months pregnant, 186cm tall and 89kg at birth? It turned out that it was a giraffe!
On May 21, the solar term of Xiaoman, the giraffe “F43” who settled in Xiamen gave birth to a giraffe cub at 5:30 pm on the same day. This is also the third giraffe artificially bred by Xiamen Lingling Animal Kingdom.

The dangerous period has passed, and I will meet with the public next month
Lingling Animal Kingdom conservationist Long Yanyang started popularizing giraffe knowledge. If it is in the wild natural environment, the birth of a giraffe will have to go through three major difficulties: first, the smooth delivery, secondly, the need to stand and walk within 1 hour, and finally, the need to feed breast milk independently as soon as possible, otherwise it will be extremely difficult to survive in the wild. Although the park has artificial protection, the newly born giraffe also needs to face these three difficulties.

At this stage, in order to ensure that “Xiaoman” grows better, let her live with her mother in the “parent-child room” carefully prepared by the staff, other members of the family come to the “parent-child room” and visit the “parent-child room”. Xiaoman”.
In particular, the father “M24” and the elder brother “Liu Qi” were particularly close, often rubbing the head of “Xiao Man” with their faces. The family’s happy intimacy scene was very warm and touching.
It is reported that giraffes are rare animals mainly living in Africa. The newly born giraffe “Xiaoman” will officially meet with tourists and friends on June 1.
