The 6ft-tall youngster, Narus, took his first tentative steps outside under the watchful eye mum, Orla, and the rest of the giraffe herd.
The adorable moment was captured on film by staff at the zoo.
Zookeepers have named their new arrival Narus after a valley in Kidepo National Park, Uganda, where the zoo’s conservationists are working to protect one of the last remaining populations of Rothschild’s giraffe.
