## Resource

A tiny, premature giraffe calf born via C-section at Tanganyika Wildlife Park in Wichita, Kansas, is defying the odds — and stealing hearts. Her mother tragically couldn’t survive the pregnancy, but the calf, now under 24/7 care, is making incredible progress: holding her head up, standing, and taking her first steps. If she survives, she’ll be the first giraffe ever born through C-section to live — a groundbreaking moment in wildlife medicine. Park staff are celebrating even the smallest milestones, like her first poop, as they pour every ounce of care into this fragile miracle.
