Rocket, the Masai Giraffe calf born on April 10, made a grand entrance at the Sacramento Zoo, introducing himself for the first time to onlookers Wednesday.
Mother and calf will have daily access to the exhibit for an hour or two each morning to slowly acclimate, zoo officials report. The schedule may change depending on the needs of the calf.
When they are in the giraffe yard, public access around the giraffe exhibit will be limited, creating a quiet atmosphere while Rocket explores and gets to know the other giraffes.
