MARWELL Wildlife is celebrating the birth of its first pure-bred Rothschild giraffe.
Keepers have named the new addition Nsia, which means “the sixth born child” in Akan, a language spoken in Ghana.
Nsia is the sixth calf born to mum Matilda.
When Nsia was born on Monday, April 19, she was already standing 6ft tall and weighing around 120lb (55kg).
Nsia can be seen with her parents and the rest of the giraffe herd at Marwell Wildlife, the zoo near Winchester.
