Zoo cameras capture giraffe birth, first stepsCameras at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo caught the moment a giraffe gave birth, and the first shaky steps of the newborn calf. Giving birth in captivity isn’t quite enough exploitation, gotta film it and put her on the Internet, too. Maybe the people that complain that video surveillance is a violation of privacy have a point! How shameful!
