It’s a Boy … Southwick’s Zoo announces birth of another baby giraffe

Southwick’s Zoo introduced “Rocket” to their fans yesterday. Rocket is a baby boy giraffe born on February 19. He got his name because shortly after his birth he shot up like a rocket and was very study on his legs. Southwick’s Zoo said Rocket is a little smaller than his half-sister Daisy but they are sure he will grow tall and strong.
