Officials said the baby giraffe was up and on its feet about 25 minutes after birth.
The zoo's 8-year-old giraffe, Wendy, gave birth at 9:30 a.m.
The gender of the calf is not known at this time, and it doesn't have a name yet. Zoo staff are expected to perform a neonatal exam Sunday to "assess the baby's overall health, weight and determine its gender."
The calf should be on exhibit by sometime next week if all goes well, officials said.
