This female Masai giraffe shares a bonding moment with her newborn calf. Giraffes give birth to their young whilst standing up. As the calf drops from up to 2 metres the umbilical cord is snapped and this triggers the baby giraffe’s first breath. The umbilical cord is visible in this image which indicates that the calf is very young. The cord dries and drops off between 1 to 3 weeks after birth.
