No, instead let's think about the bundle of joy born at the Zoo this past weekend: a little giraffe, right. Sure, it was yesterday's news, but the adorable image was just released, and the story wouldn't have been complete without it. All together now: aw.

Also, according to the Examiner, did you know that:

Giraffes give birth standing up, which is a drop of about 6 feet. Nature designed them that way to kind of give the baby a shock...Giraffes stand up immediately so they can escape predators in the wild.

Goodness.

In other news, Leanne is pregnant. No, not SFist Leanne, but the four-year-old Sumatran tiger over at the zoo. Read more about the single mother here.
