Meet Como Zoo’s newest giraffe named by Minnesotans
This year is the 15th year of the annual event, which is generally the biggest donation day for many groups. Since 2009, GiveMN says Give to the Max Day has helped raise nearly $300 million, and over $34 million was raised during last year’s event alone.
Meet Ivy — the newest baby giraffe at Como Zoo.
Seven-year-old giraffe Zinnia gave birth to the 6-foot, 132-pound, female baby giraffe on Nov. 6 at the zoo.
The mother and baby were given some time to bond before zoo officials asked people to vote for the baby’s name from three options: Dahlia, Aster and Ivy.
Zinnia has also given birth to two other calves, and the arrival of the latest one boosts the zoo’s herd to four: Zinnia, Clover, Skeeter and baby Ivy.
