Baby giraffe born at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo

State of play: The male calf was born Aug. 15. He'll remain out of the public eye for now so he can bond with his mother and get acclimated to the rest of the local herd — a male and three females.

🦒 Family tree: The calf's mother, Tuli, came to Cleveland last year from the Toledo Zoo, where the father still resides.

• Tuli's mother, Elvira, was born at the Cleveland Zoo in 2003.

Zoom out: Giraffes are considered to be a "vulnerable" species, with fewer than 110,000 estimated remaining in the wild.

What we're watching: Guests will have an opportunity to help name the new giraffe calf in the coming days.
