Entering the world at 6-feet tall and 155 pounds, Bonsu delighted members of the animal programs team at Disney’s Animal Kingdom in the early morning hours, Sunday September 28. Bonsu’s name is inspired from the Akan language in Ghana and means biggest and strongest fish in the sea. He is the fourth male, and 11<sup>th</sup> giraffe overall, born at Disney’s Animal Kingdom since the park opened in 1998. He is also the second calf for his mother Nikki, whose first offspring, a female named Rori was born in 2006. She can be seen today on the savannah at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. </font>

Maybe if they win some negotiations with the Chinese Somehow, I doubt these two wonderful additions would be on the top of Disney's list.
