Johan Van Zyl from Wild Eye had front-row seats to this miracle of life. Johan shared his footage and story of this intimate sighting and moment with LatestSightings.com.
“While out on the drive, we spotted a female giraffe, and we could instantly tell that something was different about her. Her body language and movement were not normal. As we approached, we discovered that she was in the process of giving birth-something that is not often seen, let alone caught on camera.”
“We watched her for a while, giving her space and not adding any extra stress to her. This is important, as female giraffes are extremely vulnerable when giving birth. They are not able to defend themselves during this process. Thus, they are under a lot of stress, not for only their safety but also the safety of their newborn baby.”
“The process took around 45 minutes to an hour, and we were able to witness the entire birth. First, the newborn's legs emerged from the mother, and bit by bit, the rest of the body became visible. As it came to an end, we could see the relief on the mother's face, and with a loud thump out came this tiny newborn giraffe.”
Considering that giraffes give birth while standing, the calf drops to the ground from a height of about 6 feet! This may seem scary, but it helps the calf take its first breath and get its blood flowing. This is also another stressful period for the mother, as the afterbirth smell may alert any predators in the area, and the mother needs to be on full guard.
“We watched as the little one struggled to take to its feet, wobbling and falling over. This was incredibly cute and heartwarming for everyone to see. New life had been witnessed, and it was amazing to see how active the little calf was from the get-go.”
“The mother tried to nudge the baby and assist it in standing, and this continued for around an hour. After all of the failed attempts, the calf eventually stood on its own. Being born with long legs and a long neck is no easy task. But it managed to eventually stand, with some care from its mother.”
“At this point, we waited until it took its first steps, and that’s when we decided to leave and offer the mother and baby some well-deserved space. Being considerate and ethical about these moments is crucial, as added stress on either of the two could be negative. So, we went with warm hearts and smiles all around for being able to witness this incredible moment.”

It is hard to take your eyes off this video! Giraffes giving birth is one of those rare natural moments that we rarely witness. Thank you to the filmmaker for capturing these sacred and special moments, so that we can understand more about the magic of nature.
Wow... the giraffe didn't move at all.. and she looks so calm and peaceful...
Everything breathing has a creator, they do not “evolution” become to existence.
CALM. HUMAN OR ANIMAL, GIVING BIRTH IS PAINFUL
She did not eat the apple in the garden of Eden.🤗
@@PONCHOKH you don't even know how evolution works. Shut up.
Thanks Mom, I can take it from here. Lee
That’s probably the most vulnerable 5 minutes ever
IKR
amazing footage
It’s crazy how their first fall is when they’re born and from that height.
Life is no easy ride😅
Yeah it's probably 2 meters high
A relief to see this and NOT see a predator come and immediately eat it
You can see buildings around, it’s unlikely there are any big predators in the area due to closeness of humans
Ahh I was waiting for something to eat it. Thanks for the heads up. Onto the next channel
What a pleasure to see!! Great work!’
@anna-karindillard70 Thanks Anna.
Yes, the mother picked a good spot to spawn Junior.
Whoever captured this is so lucky
how would you like some stranger taping you giving birth. lol
@@scottraney8667🤗 They're animals, that don't even know that and could care less if they did know they're being taped! Appreciate the opportunity to see👀 a giraffe being born in its natural habitat and take 1st steps!😍🌱🌿🌳☀
@@pairrynwatson4229 yea i no sorry i was just trying to be funny, it was a very good video.
I love the way the other giraffe came and waited with her.
This video of a giraffe giving birth really touched my heart. The sight of a new creature giving birth always brings hope and deep sympathy. Thank you to the filmmaker for bringing such an educational and emotional work that helps us appreciate the lives of animals more.
How wonderful, life , !!! Amazing how fast they stand up and automatically know how and where to nurse.
Wow.
@user-ny6...🤗 I think its amazing also how they just automatically know to do that and its awesome for us to see👀 this happening in their natural habitat🌱🌿🌳☀ She looks so peaceful and calm😍!
The beauty of nature. A mother with her baby watching another mother giving birth.
I am so pleased to see how a baby is born
I advise you not to see an abortion ! you will be so sad
@@faridfarid-ob9vuOnly the feminist humans do that sort of evil.
The worst kind of predator imaginable in the natural world will protect their young no matter what.
Very pleased. Awesome moment.
Yes. It's amazing.
@@Cake269🤗 Yes its quite Awesome, to see👀 this happening in they're natural habitat!🌱🌿🌳☀😍
Beautiful
Thank you for sharing
Was ein Glück, das Wunder der Geburt miterlebt zu haben.
Tolles Video 😊
Giraffe birth: falls from their mother. Up and walking in 5 minutes
Turtle birth: Make a mad dash for the ocean while their siblings get snatched
Carnivoran birth: have to get through life not being wiped out by males
Humans:....😫😫😭😭😭
Humans traded start lag for much better stat growth.
Mothers Mothers and Mothers are the best thing in life
Not all of them lol
Without fathers there are no mothers
Fathers can be too! No one ever talks about the good fathers out there!
@@VenusEvan_1885
Without mothers there are no babies
@@pridefalcon without fathers there are no babies, because of fathers there are babies.
Damn, poor giraffes, do they ever get a break? They even have to stand while giving birth💯
I stood while giving birth. It's much easier that way. If more hospitals would allow it, many humans would stand while giving birth.
I like how there´s other baby giraffes (and bigger giraffe kids!) around!
An absolute fine capture.. Giraffes are love. Nature you beauty as well as scary at the same time❤️
Nature can be beautiful or horrible. Many of the calves end up eaten by predators.
@@safeandeffectivelol True mate
Nature at it's best. Splendid show, mate.
Final drop caught the other little one by surprise 😂
The other female giraffe was like “Can my girl get some privacy?”
And when she hit the ground, the other baby took off like her life was in danger.
@@wokokow even though the kid was legit staring at it just a second earlier.. like how are you suprised?
Can i ask if the Giraffe also breastfeeding??

Kudos to all the mothers ❤
Well captured ❤️🦒🔥
Curious the camera shutters going like Gatling gun, as if it was a glamor event
Man, giraffes are the craziest looking creatures!
@mode1charlie170🤗 lol😂 they are, But no they're not the craziest looking, try the octopus🐙🤣🤣
amazing how they can keep their young alive, not really any giant herd to protect them or give them cover and better odds
Honestly they aren't good mothers. They often kill or forgot their offspring when there are predators
God sure knew what he was doing!
So cute to watch a mother pooping out her newborn child!
Very smart to have her baby close to human settlements where less predators! Wishing this baby a long healthy life!
Look what God does with his animals making them ready for the world. Only God’s power can do this miracle!
Lovely and very lucky sighting.
Hoped to see the first feeding too.
Thank you guys for such a wonderful life in the making
Amazing
Whoever sits in the bush without his camera on silent mode needs to learn bush etiquette!
Ruined the peaceful scene for everyone - especially for the person taking this very special video.
What an amazing sighting! The giraffes were so calm.
This must be the calmest mother in labor and delivery ever. Even another mother giraffe walking by with her own young calf stopped to take note!
@dpmcnamee1799🤗 Yes, she was really cool calm and collected! The other giraffe was saying👀 Girl, Been There Done That‼😅
That is so beautiful thank you.
Listo ahora solo me falta ver el nacimiento de un erizo 👍
Absolutely beautiful sight
I can see why it takes like over a year for human babies to learn to walk
They're not born in an environment where predators would follow and eat you and you have to learn to walk and then run immediately
They were 10,000 years ago. The difference is the mother can hold them and run.
They could also count on the their males to protect them
Humans are lazy asf😂😂😂
The most beautiful continent on the planet. Africa.
A new giraffe on the planet!
I was gonna make a giraffe joke, but it's too long.
The baby giraffe was assigned trans at birth
You are edgy aren't you@@TransKidsMafia
That's what she said
😂😂😂
Well... high as giraffe 😸
How wonderful is life , I'm always in awe of this incredible world.
Beautiful of nature
Beautiful to witness, but those damn cameras are annoyingly loud
Not getting torn to pieces by hyens or lions
As a welcome comittee is lucky❤
The still at 20 seconds, is the same as the channel's profile picture ❤.
Only difference is that girafee giving birth🎉
Deja Vu
I'm surprised Mama Giraffe didn't lay down to deliver, but I guess it's a safety issue. Plus, the drop might actually stimulate the baby in some forms. Mother Nature is great and knows what it is doing. Life is amazing. ❤❤❤
I didt see the baby born!!!
Fantástico oq é a natureza hein
I’m just amazed how the momma giraffe didn’t make a sound while giving birth!! 😳😵💫
Nature at its best! Go baby!!!
Ever wondered how they survive thier fear of heights? Ok now you know, because the mother pushes them all the way from third floor to the basement!
Great to watch natures beauty
Beautiful❤❤
poor little guy is like what’s going on here and where is breakfast
I swear! I'm sure they can silence the damn shutters and not disturb what's taking place! If I can do it on my Sony A6000 (10 year old $600 camera) surely it can be done on these higher end models smh
YES! I was thinking the same thing! Nothing like hearing a machine gun while watching the miracle of birth!
@@absfile thanks for the info! Must be frustrating to the photographers!
Oh, how beautiful to behold 💖 God is a master planner. Thank you Jesus🙏
What a beautiful sighting 🥰
Giraffe babies are making human babies look lazy.
Amazing❤ thank you
The weird stuff RUclips recommends me at 3 am....🙃
Such a patient calm mama❤
Fifteen years ago, camera noises put a serious dent in my safari experience. Aside from being beyond irritating, the noise scared away the only leopard to cross our path in a month.
Serious question, is there not a way to silence or are there that many photographers who don’t mind infringing on experiences of others.
i wish the video lasted until the baby found the milk .. it seemed like it was looking for the nipple as it rubs her mommy body with its mouth.. so cute ❤
@ksad10🤗 I wish it had lasted that long too!💜😍
Everyone talks in comments about the birth of giraffe baby but no one thinks how the giraffe baby created and by who...its almighty God who created everything in this entire universe but yet human are blind and worships creatures ... please think wise and worship almighty God the single creator of this entire universe who derserve that we worship him alone
@i_stand_by_truth2057🤗 Good Comment, But some of it is not true. All humans don't think the same, All are not blind and worship creatures, So All humans can't be put in 1 category. I for 1 knows GOD CREATED EVERYTHING IN THIS ENTIRE UNIVERSE🌍🌎🌏 I DO WORSHIP ALMIGHTY GOD Who deserves not derserve ALL Worship And Praise
🙏🏻🙏🏼🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏿!💌
God created the giraffe and the baby giraffe that she gave birth to in their natural habitat🌱🌿🌳🌾 and people are just expressing how they feel about Gods awesome creation😇😍!
How can we know for sure that some polytheistic religion got it right all along?
The baby giraffe did not fall even once and was not even crying.
Terrible camera sounds. Distracting from the beautifull moment
The baby falls twelve feet to the ground. And you thought getting slapped on the butt was a hard way to start your life!
A miracle
That’s crazy as hell 😂
How come they live without breathing inside? Don't they gasp for breath?
Are they AWAKE inside like 1-2 hours/days before birth? Or are they in sleep?
Hhhhhh
There must get oxygen through other ways
They get oxygen through the placenta the same way humans do.
@@DarkSideMaceWindu yep
@@fillfinish7302 HHHHHHHHGGGGHHHHRRRRRRR
Imagine being born and you just start falling
Se quebran un hueso
Imagine being a giraffe that's afraid of heights.
Mundo Novo pra bebê girafa ❤❤❤😊
“What the heck? Why you drop me like that Mummy! Let me back in!”
Welcome to the world. NOW RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!!!!!!!
he is so perfect!
The miracle of nature.
Subhan Allah
Praise God 🙏 cause he made a wonderful nature.
God bless the precious Giraffe mother and the gorgeous baby Giraffe always Amen
Prayers for both to get good health long life and life safety
and happy Always Amen🦒🦒🦒🦒💗♥️💐🌼🌺🌹💖💕❤️🐶💗☦️🕯🙏🇨🇦Canada Calgary
0:35 other giraffe is like "what the heck is happening?"
It’s crazy how the giraffe doesn’t seem to be in pain.
was that bird feeding on the leftover birth sac
I'm glad Jim Carrey didn't come out this time. What a great scene!
Amazing.
아름답고 위대한 영상입니다
WoW!
The giraffe should have contacted dr hyena for a successful operation. That looked bit rough
Dr Hyena Faucci is well known
It's very irresponsible of the father not to have brought in a midwife 😂
nice to know they brought their type writer on a safari
Remarkable 🤩
Beautiful
Giraffe baby is amazing. Human, feline and canine babies can't do that
That was beautiful work from God
😢the lord his love and and i loze love sensational
Amazing 🦒🇿🇦.
