Stanley, a five day old Rothschild giraffe, takes his first steps outside the giraffe house at Chester Zoo on August 11, 2022 in Chester, England. Stanley's mum Orla delivered him onto soft straw after a 15-month pregnancy and three hour long labour last saturday. Keepers named 6ft Stanley after Mount Stanley, the tallest mountain in Uganda, Africa, where the zoo’s conservationists are fighting to boost giraffe numbers. Rothschild’s giraffes are one of the Africa’s most at risk mammals with less than 2,500 now remaining in the wild. (Photo by Christopher Furlong/Getty Images)
