There was a Christmas addition to Cork's Fota Wildlife Park, as a giraffe calf named Cuileann made her public debut.
Cuileann, the Irish for 'Holly', was introduced on Thursday December 27.
She was born a week before Christmas.
Fota Wildlife Park's Facebook page says: "The arrival of Cuileann is the third giraffe calf in 5 months at Fota Wildlife Park following the births of Casey in July and Aoibhinn in August.
"Cuileann was born to mum Roisin and dad Tadgh, the oldest giraffes at the park."
Head warden Willie Duffy told The Irish Independent: "With Roisin being 21, we were worried about her giving birth and how the stress would impact on her and the little calf. But she coped very well."
