After reading the following, I realized how right Barney was about giraffes.
"Mauzy the giraffe isn’t likely in the running for any Mother of the Year awards. The long-necked mammal that makes its home at Southwick’s Zoo in Mendon, Mass., became a first-time mom last Monday — but the health of her newborn, Molly, was in crisis mode since birth. The problem: Mauzy was unable to produce colostrum, or “first milk,” vital for the newborn to fight against bacteria and viruses. In addition, zoo officials said Mauzy didn’t seem interested in her young daughter. Happily for Molly, veterinarians at Southwick’s and at Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine did take a keen interest in saving young Molly’s life. And eight days after her trouble-plagued birth, Molly is nearly ready to go home to Southwick’s, and to an eventual reunion with her mother."
