Safari West in North Bay saves sick newborn giraffe

SANTA ROSA, Calif. (KGO) -- Safari West in Sonoma County saved the life of a newborn giraffe found wet and shivering after birth.

Caregivers found her temperature dropped dangerously due to very low glucose levels. She received fluids and antibiotics while wrapped in blankets.

The following day, she wasn't nursing from the mother properly, so she had to be tube fed.
