The unnamed male giraffe was born at the zoo on October 30 weighing a whopping 152 pounds. He already stands close to 6 feet tall.

This is baby number 3 for the mother whose name is Mia. The father is a 16-year-old male named Fezzik.

Zoo officials say that since giraffes give birth standing up, the baby falls about 4-6 feet when they're born.
