A female giraffe, born Jan 11, 2015, at The Fort Worth Zoo, is making her first public appearances just in time for Valentine's Day. Notice the heart shaped marking on her neck. So far she has not been named but the Fort Worth Zoo says they will make that announcement on their Facebook page.

This baby is the third generation of her family living at the zoo. She is with her grandmother, mother and an aunt. She is the 15th giraffe to be born at the zoo since 1991. Of the 15 baby giraffes born here at Fort worth Zoo, 9 have been sent to other accredited zoos as part of the species survival plan.
What a cutie! That is some neck to hug, but The Travelling Toe thinks she has the best
foot-ware around town!
