The three day old female Rothschild Giraffe pup, born on April 28, receives a lick from her mother Mar, at the Knies Kinderzoo in Rapperswil, Switzerland, Friday May 1, 2009. The pup that hasn't been named so far, is the 12th birth of a Rothschild Giraffe in Knies Kinderzoo. The Rothschild Giraffe, named after Tring Zoological Museum's founder, Lord Walter Rothschild, also known as the Baringo Giraffe, after the Lake Baringo area of Kenya, or as the Ugandan Giraffe, is the second most endangered giraffe subspecies with only a few hundred members.
