The female calf, now named Glory, was born on September 20 to 10-year-old Masai giraffe, Shani.

After spending time bonding with her mama in the giraffe barn, Glory officially joined the herd in their habitat for the first time earlier this week, allowing visitors to get a glimpse of the new baby.
“What a beauty! Got to see her Tuesday,’ one visitor gushed on social media.
Glory is the 20th calf born at the Sacramento Zoo since 1964 when the species was first housed at the zoo.
