Southwick's Zoo's newest addition is a pretty big baby.
Dolly the giraffe was born two weeks ago, and at 6 feet tall and 150 pounds, she's the largest of her species ever to be born in the history of the Mendon zoo.
The zoo says Dolly is being fed with a bottle because her mother was unable to produce her own milk. She made her public debut during Earth Awareness Day festivities on Saturday.
Dr. Peter Brewer, the zoo's veterinarian, says Dolly won't be reintroduced to her mother for another month.
