The first giraffe ever born in Queensland has taken her first wobbly steps, with two more arrivals expected within months.
The female calf, named Skye, was born at Australia Zoo, north of Brisbane, on Wednesday morning.
"Mum, Rosie, and the calf are healthy and doing extremely well," according to Australia Zoo Africa curator Laurie Pond said, in announcing the birth on Friday.
"Our little giraffe has already taken her first wobbly steps after two or three concerted efforts to stand up."
She's feeding well and vets are very happy with her progress.

"Rosie is also doing well and is a fantastic first-time mum, and seems quite content with her new little calf."
Two of the zoo's other giraffes are also expecting calves in the next few months.
Skye will go on public display in the coming months.
