Una Healy is in a rock band AND she's a mother, so she's seen a lot of cool and crazy things in her life.

But this may have topped all of that!

While taking her daughter Aoife to the zoo, Una had someone take their picture.

But a giraffe totally sneaked in the frame!

Luckily, Una was a good sport about it.

Here's what The Saturdays' band member wrote:

Houston Zoo just got a brand new baby!!

Yao is a 139-pound male Masai Giraffe that was just born to 5-year-old mom Neema and 6-year-old dad Mtembei.

They must be so proud of the not-so-little guy!

He's already 74-inches tall! That's 6'2"!!

So his name makes too much sense. He's called Yao after basketballer Yao Ming!

Yao is all about conservation and saving animals so we bet he's honored to have the new baybay named after him.

The baby made it's public debut last Saturday and now joins the other 8 giraffe guests at the zoo.

He's just so friggin cute we don't know what to do!!

Congrats on the new baby!

There's something CUTEz walking around the merry old land of Oz!

Australia's Mogo Zoo has welcomed another baby Rothschild giraffe to the fold. Mama Shani went into labor on the morning of January 24 and visitors got to watch the circle of life for 1.5 hours while the female calf was born.

This is Shani's third babe and she's proven to be a great mom, and the newborn is bonding well with her.

Except when she's had enough of mama's kissies! Too CUTEz!

Sometimes….life doesn't get any better than a day with the fam….

A day with the fam…and a new giraffe friend!!! LOLz!

Dancing with the Stars alum and legal commentator Nancy Grace took her kiddies to see the beautiful babes at Busch Gardens yesterday.

There, the family got to enjoy some sunshine rays and a couple of giraffe kissies!!!

Awww….so schweet! We LUV happy family moments!

A couple days ago, we showed you a CRAAAAAAZZZZY giraffe fight, and while we don't see this on a regular basis, the Discovery channel is showing us a super VIOLENT look at how these animals throw down!!

In the clip (above), which is narrated by Forest Whitaker, we get a look at the 90-second film dubbed Kalahari, and we cannot believe how intense giraffe fighting is!!

These animals literally know how to go neck and neck!! LOLz! Just watch them go at (above)!

WTFeezy?!!!?

These two giraffes DO NOT LIKE EACH OTHER!!! So much so…they want to battle each other!

Unfortunately, giraffes aren't designed to do much fighting…it's either use your neck…or your back.

LET THE AWKWARD THROWDOWN BEGIN!!!! LOLz!

This ain't right!

Charleston, S.C. held their annual tree lighting event in their downtown area on Saturday, and to get things POPPING right, the city brought in a 2-year-old giraffe named Melman.

BUT… what the event coordinators and apparently the handler didn't know was that as soon as the Confetti Cannon went off, Melman was gonna react abnormally.
