Zookeepers at Africa Alive on the Suffolk coast are "thrilled" to announce the birth a male giraffe.
The baby giraffe was born at the zoo on Wednesday, April 26 to mum Kiara and dad Jengo.
It is Kiara's third baby at Africa Alive since her arrive from Cologne Zoo in Germany.
Keepers have named the calf Charlie, in tribute to the King's coronation this weekend.
Charlie is currently 6ft and will grow to around 18ft the zoo has confirmed.
Graeme Williamson, head of living collections at The Zoological Society of East Anglia said: "We are thrilled to announce the birth of a male giraffe calf on Wednesday 26 to mum Kiara and dad Jengo.
"This is Kiara’s third calf at Africa Alive, initial interactions between mum and calf were slightly fractured, but keepers have been working around the clock to encourage the calf to suckle from Kiara.
"Keepers initially supplemented the calf with colostrum. Colostrum is a nutritious fluid that contains high levels of antibodies, to promote growth and health in fighting infections in young animals.
"The calf is currently being supplemented with Jersey milk to help keep his strength. Mum Kiara is still adjusting to her new calf; over the next few days we hope he will work out how to suckle from mum and not be reliant on his keepers.”
