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。
