I had the same problem with the link. When I visited the Wild Animal Park in Escondido Ca...I learned that the mother giraffe gives birth standing-up; the umbilical cord is just long enough to allow the baby to fall but not hit the ground hard...the cord breaks just before the baby reaches the ground.....so the new-born gets a soft landing onto mother earth.
