The Southwick Zoo’s newest addition is a pretty big baby.

南威克動物園的最新成員是一隻漂亮的大嬰兒。

Dolly the giraffe was born two weeks ago, and at 6 feet tall and 150 pounds, she’s the largest of her species ever to be born in the history of the Mendon zoo.

長頸鹿多莉2週前出生,6英尺高、150磅重,為門登鎮動物園史上其同類中最大的一隻。

The zoo says Dolly is being fed with a bottle because her mother was unable to produce her own milk. She made her public debut during Earth Awareness Day festivities on Saturday.

園方說,多莉靠奶瓶餵食,因為牠的媽媽無法產奶。牠週六在地球關懷日慶祝活動中首次公開亮相。

Dr. Peter Brewer, the zoo’s veterinarian, said Dolly won’t be reintroduced to her mother for another month. AP
