Escondido, California - Animal care staff opened the gates to an in-exhibit care area this morning and a two-week-old male Ugandan giraffe slowly followed his mother, Chinde (pronounced Shin-dey), into the East Africa habitat at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. The lanky calf hesitantly left the area where he has lived since he was born on June 22. With his comparatively short legs, the calf had to run to keep up with his mother’s long, slow strides as she led him to a watering hole, where the other giraffes in the exhibit came to sniff and lick the new member of the herd.
