00:00Tall, yet small, and still a li-
00:05A little unsteady.
00:06It was definitely one of the biggest babies we've had born here at the zoo since we opened.
00:09Two months.
00:10They're sold and weighing more than 120 kilograms.
00:13Sydney Zoo's latest-
00:15We've come here quite a bit, so it was cute to see a new little baby.
00:20It's like tiny but huge at the same time.
00:22It's so furry.
00:25I guess it's soft, and it has a really long neck.
00:30He's absolutely adorable.
00:32After a 15-month pregnancy, Mother Ayana-
00:35and Newborn are doing well, but the first few weeks were critical for zookeepers.
00:40When a baby giraffe is born, it's a pretty traumatic experience for that calf.
00:44It's a very, very-
00:45very long drop in those first few seconds of his life.
00:47Our little man had a little bit of a rougher-
00:50start than normal, which meant that we actually did have to step in and help raise him.
00:54This calf was only-
00:55born in December, but it is already over two metres tall.
01:00As for a name, well, that will now be up to the public.
01:04The competition will-
01:05We'll decide between Jasiri, Tamboti, or Bahati.
01:09Baby steps for-
01:10Sydney's newest four-legged favourite.
