New giraffe born at Disney’s Animal Kingdom (Walt Disney World)

Walt Disney World Resort’s Animal Kingdom got a very special delivery on Friday — a new member of the family!

A giraffe that lives on the park’s reserve, named Mara, gave birth to a baby girl!

The female giraffe is just over six feet tall and weighs 156 pounds. While she has yet to be given a name, park officials say she is healthy, strong and even a little feisty.

She is the 35th giraffe to be born at the park, Disney says.

Mother and baby will be on the Kilimanjaro Safaris savanna soon for everyone to visit.
