Did you know female giraffes give birth standing up? Upon arrival into the world, baby giraffes fall more than five feet to the ground, and can typically stand within the first 30 minutes of being alive. #EarthCapture by YS Wildlife Photography | BBC Earth

Baby giraffes are pretty awesome! Here's why... While giraffes may struggle to walk when they are freshly born, this does not last for long. After about 30 minutes of practice, giraffe calves are able to walk with enough stability and avoid too much stumbling or falling over. In fact, within 10 hours of being born, giraffe calves can run at full force and keep up with the adults in their families!!! 📷 C Slager #worldgiraffeday #animalvideo #animalreels #babyanimals #giraffes #giraffeconservatio
