At slightly more that a month old, Rolling Hills Zoo’s adorable new giraffe calf has been named "Korey."
Korey, the calf of Billie and the late BT, was born on Dec. 17 at 7:23 p.m. Once Korey was born, Billie went to work cleaning him and by 9:14 p.m. that night, he was on his feet and taking his first steps. Korey was close to six feet tall when he was born.
He can now be seen curiously exploring his surroundings from the Giraffe Barn’s Viewing Room, or during warmer weather, outside in the giraffe yard.
To allow for social distancing, the zoo asks that only one family group be in the viewing room at a time when visiting the Giraffe Barn. Guests are also asked to keep their voices soft and refrain from banging on the glass as to not startle the giraffes.
