Baby giraffe attempts to stand up
The officer explains in the caption that the infant giraffes take their first wobbly steps for 30 to 60 minutes after birth and are able to run within an hour. The users online attributed this fact to giraffe’s perseverance for learning. The average newborn baby giraffe starts walking over 10,000 times faster than the typical human as per reports. A baby giraffe naturally attempts at standing up on its own and struggles profusely.
The users appreciated the video calling it inspirational and thanked the forest officer for sharing it. They left heartfelt comments on the tweet, some even shared informative lines about different species of animals and how they learned to walk.
