    Franklin Park Zoo announced the birth on July 14 of a male Masai giraffe, who weighed in at 184 pounds and within an hour stood tall at six feet while his mother, Amari, nursed him.

    The day after the birth, the Zoo’s veterinary team took bloodwork and examined the calf before the announcement by Dr. Chris Bonar, Zoo New England Director of Animal Health, that “he is a strong, healthy calf and appears bright and alert. As with any newborn, he will be closely monitored by his care team as he continues to grow and reach milestones.”

    The newborn’s public debut will be announced in the coming months. Zoo New England is an active participant in the Masai Giraffe Species Survival Plan (SSP), which is a cooperative, inter-zoo program coordinated nationally through the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA).

    The global population of this iconic giant (a fully grown Masai giraffe can reach 19 feet in height and weigh up to 4,200 pounds) has declined by 40 percent over the last 30 years. By sharing research and knowledge, participating institutions work together to establish guidelines that best ensure the health of captive populations, and with success, the survival of endangered species.

    Chad, the calf’s father, joined the Franklin Park Zoo from the Santa Barbara Zoo in 2018.

    Hope I'm not duplicating a thread please move if so.
    I saw this photo on the internet of this adorable young animal. I could not figure out what animal it. I thought maybe a young fox. If you know what it is please post it.

    Looks like the Manxmouse from a book I read long ago. I wonder if it is AI or computer generated.

    I don't believe it's AI or computer generated it was with a group of other baby animals, most of them I recognize. I wish I could remember the site where I found it. If while searching the web I see a photo I find interesting I'll download it this one I downloaded to show my grandkids, after there oohs & aahs they wanted one.

    They always remind me of hamsters, Which I raised when I was younger and living in brooklyn.
    I've had a few exotic pets Like prairie dogs, Cotton top marmaset, Flying squirrels, Iguana, European goldfish, Plus others I just like taking care of them, And learning about them.

    You know I'm starting to think they may be modified originals or CGI.
    I found the first picture that I listed and it was on a site called Reddit. All sorts of pictures get posted there, these had no explanation of what type of animals they are. There is a possibility they are CGI. Good pickup I'm still going try and find out if they are CGI.
