Watch as cameras capture the rare moment baby giraffe is born at Chester Zoo

The leggy newcomer arrived into the world to new mum Orla, with the joyous scene captured by the zoo’s cameras, at 11.30pm on Tuesday.

"Orla’s calf landed with quite a bump when it fell around 6ft onto the floor, but this is totally normal and is actually a really important part of the birth process – with the impact from the fall stimulating the calf and encouraging it to take its very first breath.“So far mum and baby are doing really well and, at just two days old, they’re spending some quiet time getting to know one another.
