Newborn giraffe named after Jude Bellingham at Hythe wildlife park

Port Lympne confirmed that Jude and her mother, Leana, were “doing well” and “enjoying some quiet time together in the giraffe house”.

They said the rest of the herd were “fascinated” by the new arrival and regularly checking in on the mum and daughter as they prepare for slow, carefully managed introductions over the coming days.

With Jude’s arrival, the Nubian giraffe herd at the wildlife park has grown to eight, Port Lympne added.

“We’re delighted with how everything is progressing and hope it won’t be long before Jude is confidently exploring the reserve and meeting all of our visitors,” they say.

According to Edinburgh Zoo, there are fewer than 4,000 Nubian giraffes left in the wild and they are listed as critically endangered.

They live in western Ethiopia, central and western Kenya, South Sudan and Uganda.
