The baby giraffe delighted visitors to Chester Zoo by making her first public appearance.

And there was time for her to take a visit to the measuring stick within the giraffe enclosure at the attraction.

The baby Rothschild’s giraffe, already more than two metres high, was named after a region in Uganda where the endangered subspecies still lives in the wild.
