Baby giraffe born at safari park in Ohio

CUMBERLAND, OH — The Wilds, a safari park and conversation center in Ohio, is celebrating the birth of baby giraffe Masai, who was born early Friday morning.

The park said the calf, whose sex is still unknown, appears to be strong and is staying close to its mother, Savannah. This is Savannah's fifth calf.

Masai's father was born at the Los Angeles Zoo in April 2006 and came to The Wilds 10 years ago. Savannah was born at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo in August 2003 and has been at The Wilds since 2004.
