More theme park cuteness: Baby giraffes at Walt Disney World

October 19, 2009, 4:18 PM · Walt Disney World announced today the birth of two baby giraffes at Disney's Animal Kingdom. Bolo was born to Big Girl on Oct. 12 and Bruehler was born to Aibuni on Oct. 5. Both calves stand about six feet tall, about a third of the height they could reach as grown-ups.

Here's Bolo and Mom, in a photo released by Disney. No word on when the giraffes will be on public display.

Its two different places (of course AK is not connected to AKL). However, they are both taken are of by more or less the same people.
