Milwaukee County Zoo in Wisconsin has posted a video of its newest arrival standing up for the first time, and it’s completely adorable.

A baby giraffe, that is yet to be named, was born on May 15 to mum Marlee. The newborn stood up for the very first time after less than an hour in the world.

The cute video now has over 11,000 views.

“It took the giraffe calf just 49 minutes after birth to get her wobbly legs under her and stand up for the first time… both are doing well!”

The little girl is already over six feet tall and weighs around 79kg.
