A new baby boy giraffe has made its way into the world, and we can't stop saying AWWWWWWWW!!

The calf was born last week at the Brookfield Zoo to a 6-foot-2 mama named Arneita, which marks the zoo's 58th giraffe birth.

Crazily enough, the 140-pound baby was DROPPED five feet from his mommy during the birthing process, but was on his feet in only 30 minutes!!

Unfortunately, the little cupcake doesn't have a name yet, but we're just excited to see that he was born into the world happy and healthy!!!

The mom and son duo can be seen at the Habitat Africa! the Savannah Exhibit right now, but if you don't have a chance to get to the zoo, check out the video (above)!

It took a year but six year old giraffe, Autumn, has delivered a baby boy!

Kiko is one of the many giraffes that are born with horns and feet first. Female giraffes also deliver standing up so it was a long drop for the little guy!

It's a perfect match at the Chester Zoo!

Mama Dagmar and papa Thorn found love through an online animal dating site (we are SO not joking!) and Dagmar arrived to the UK zoo from Denmark.

The sparks flew and the couple were a perfect genetic pairing so OF COURSE their babe is super beautiful!

The newborn already stands 5 foot 6 inches and she is already on display with her VERY nurturing mother.

Congrats to the Chester Zoo!

Question: Did you know that there are GAWRGEOUS giraffes in Utah?!

The Hogle Zoo's newest babe can prove that!

A female reticulated giraffe calf made her debut at the Utah zoo on Tuesday and mom and daughter are getting along great.

Just wait until those teen years! LOLz!

This is the zoo's 16th successful birth since it started displaying giraffes in 1969.

Keep 'em coming!

FINALLY, we can starting calling this diva by her real name!

Last month, a female Rothschild giraffe broke barriers after she joined the herd THREE days after her birth.

Now, she's got a name…Tamu!

This species of giraffe needs all the sassy fighters it can get. Rothschild giraffes are one of the most endangered of the giraffe species, with less than 700 remaining in the wild.

GORGEOUS! GORGEOUS GORGEOUS!!!!

We just LOVE to see how much fun Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise, seem to having together these days!

Especially when it involves such AH-mazing animal friends like these!

Although the actress was expected to walk the red carpet at an event for her Dizzy Feet Foundation yesterday in Los Angeles, she instead chose to opt of that in order to bring her daughter to the Bronx Zoo, where the pair spent the afternoon feeding giraffes!

Just LOOK at how much they're having (above)!

Can't say we blame Katie for wanting to hold off professional obligations for the time being!

Right now her focus should be right where it is - on her daughter!

Wonder how little Suri felt when she noticed those furry, long-necked guys had PURPLE TONGUES! Ha!

Hope you two had a WONDERFUL day!

The Dublin Zoo has a very TALL bundle of joy walking around!

A female Rothschild giraffe calf is strutting her stuff weeks after her June 27 birth. And she is a very confident girl too!

Giraffe calves normally stick to themselves before joining the herd a week after birth.

This babe joins the herd in 3 days!

FIERCE!
