Tessa's Baby
Birth watch: still waiting
Tessa the giraffe is expecting her fifth calf — any day now.
This is a fan-made notebook for everyone watching the livestream at 3 AM, refreshing for hooves. The real show is on the zoo's official cameras.
A 20-year-old Masai giraffe. This is her fifth calf — and the zoo expects it to be her last.

That's how long a giraffe pregnancy lasts. The pregnancy was announced in March 2026.
Giraffe calves are born about six feet tall and usually stand up within an hour.
Giraffes give birth standing up, so the calf's first move in life is a short drop. Totally normal.
The zoo will pick a name through its giraffe adoption program after the birth.
