LOS ANGELES, Muharram 09, 1437, October 22, 2015, SPA -- The Los Angeles Zoo has a big baby, according to AP. The zoo announced Wednesday that a male Masai giraffe was born Oct. 9. The unnamed 130-pound (59-kilogram) baby stands just under 6 feet tall (1.8 meters) and is the firstborn of 4-year-old mother, Zainabu. Animal keeper Mike Bona says visitors who want to see the calf while he's still relatively small should come while he's still young because he could be nearly 10 feet (3 meters) tall by his first birthday. Masai giraffes can grow to 17 feet (5.2 meters) and weigh 2,700 pounds (1,225 kilograms). The species comes from southern Kenya and northern Tanzania and is the largest of all giraffes. --SPA 23:59 LOCAL TIME 20:59 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
