TAMPA - A baby just born in Tampa weighs in at 176 pounds. But in this case it was a baby giraffe at Busch Gardens.

She was born January 27th to parents Jafari and Cupid. This is the fifth calf Cupid has given birth to.

The little girl is 6’ 2” tall. It's the 19th reticulated giraffe at the theme park. Reticulated refers to their net-like pattern of spots.

The new baby will join the other animals on the Serengeti Plain in about three months.
