If all goes well, the newborn will be revealed to the public in approximately two weeks, the Zoo posted to its Facebook page.

The new giraffe is the latest a series of high-profile births Prague Zoo has welcomed in 2016.

In January, the Zoo welcomed a baby hippo; that was followed by a baby elephant in April and a newborn gorilla a few weeks later.

Last year, Prague Zoo was named 4th best in the world by popular travel website TripAdvisor.
