MOOS: BABY GIRAFFE'S EFFORT TO DRINK COMES UP DRY
<p><b>**This package/segment contains third party material. Unless otherwise noted, this material may only be used within this package/segment.**</b></p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Leggy Baby Giraffe – The Oakland Zoo’s new baby giraffe is learning to use her long spindly legs, but she hasn’t quite gotten her sea legs completely…especially when she tries to drink from the moat in her habitat. We have some very cute video of that failed attempt. But other than that, Kendi at 6 weeks is on her way to using her skinny legs like a champ. We chart her leg progress from inside the womb when you see her mom’s belly reverberate as the baby kicks to standing up the first day she was born to running and even kicking. And now the final frontier, bending down to drink. We interviewed the zoo manager and will also toss in an old Leggs pantyhose commercial with ZZ Top singing, “She’s got legs and she knows how to use them.”</p>\n<p></p>\n<p><b>--SUPERS</b>--</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>CNNID: 20125425</p>\n<p>TRT: 1:46</p>\n<p>OC: JM CNN she got legs NEW YORK</p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p>00:32 - 00:37</p>\n<p>Amy Phelps</p>\n<p>Oakland Zoo, Zoological Manager</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>ALL OTHER FONTS ARE PREFONTED</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>SOURCES: Oakland Zoo/AMAZING ANIMALS+/TMX; Oakland Zoo; "Legs"/Warner Bros.
