Yes – the giraffe is one of the many glories of a new Africa – an Africa that was much promoted and relaunched by Janet Jackson. Rsj
Someday, he’ll grow up to become just like Melman 😛

The article said that mom and baby were in seclusion for the time being, but when they are ready to meet the public, perhaps you can give us an update Kerri Rawson !
