— -- A zoo in Seattle welcomed its tallest baby on Tuesday.

Tufani, an 8-year-old giraffe, gave birth to a calf whose sex has not been determined.

Video released by Woodland Park Zoo shows the newborn taking its first steps, exploring its environment and bonding with its mother.

Tufani belongs to a species that has been designated as a endangered.

The yet-to-be named calf will live in the zoo’s giraffe barn alongside its mother; its aunt, Olivia; and its father, Dave.

They should be one happy family, sticking their necks out for one another.
