When a giraffe baby, called a calf, is born, it comes into the world front feet first, followed by the head, neck, and shoulders.Its entry is like a slow-motion swan dive! Because the umbilical cord is only about 3 feet (1 meter) long, it breaks midway through the birth, allowing the newborn to drop to the ground.
