that must have been scarey live....the baby looks dead

 

[koshergrl]

He..or she? I don't even know...was moving from the beginning. Not constantly, but just enough to show life. The bag pulled away from his face when he fell, and we could see his flanks move with his breath, so it was pretty obvious to me that he was ok. Not so much if you haven't seen big livestock birthed. But sheesh that period of time after the water broke before he was all the way out...sheer torture.

Giraffe aren't big on sleeping, I've noticed. Probably a risky venture out on the savannah...baby horse would have been snoozing hours ago.

funny watching it try to lay down......cant figure out the back legs and pushes itself back up

 

[Sarah G]

She just looks so cute standing there like what the heck is this place?

Can't wait to see her outside. She'll be out of control.
