Zoosiana recently welcomed a new member to the zoo's ever-growing family.
On Nov. 13, the crew celebrated the birth of Cabrini, a female baby reticulated giraffe. And she's already making waves, bringing a crowd of curious children and parents to get a gander at the long-necked mammal.
Cabrini's birth comes about a year after the Broussard-based zoo introduced two baby pygmy hippos . Who, by the way, are doing great, said Zooisana Director Matt Oldenburg.
The baby giraffe is the first of the third generation of giraffes born at the zoo and is a daughter of longtime resident Josie, who learned she was having a girl after Cabrini's father, George, was given a paintbrush and created a makeshift pink gender reveal painting.
Cabrini was named after a 30-year crew member, Cabrini Broussard
