Giraffe birth interrupts interview at Copenhagen Zoo

A giraffe birth at Copenhagen Zoo interrupted a media interview when the newborn stopped breathing, Danish broadcaster DR reports.

The zoo is experiencing a rare baby boom among its reticulated giraffes, with three calves born within weeks. The latest arrival came in the giraffe stable, witnessed by visitors.

The mother, a 23-year-old female, delivered her tenth calf in just two hours and 20 minutes—nearly half the typical four-hour labor.
