Endangered Rothschild Baby Giraffe Stands For The First Time [Video]

Rothschild giraffes are an endangered species, with only 670 left in the world. This adorable calf was born March 22 at the LEO Zoological Conservation Center (LEOZCC), a preservation refuge and breeding center for rare, threatened and endangered species in Greenwich, Connecticut.

Despite having only been alive for 30 minutes, the baby was learning to stand up on its own.
