Female giraffes give birth every 20 months, usually to one calf, which can stand within 20 minutes of being born. "I don't know if these two youngsters were related", said Gabriela, "but I waited until they were on either side of the female". 

The postcard was sent from Denmark, as Lærke was on business trip there, hence I have my first Danish stamps now. It was a problem to register this card because of incorrect ID. But Postcrossing Support helped me to find right number within 1 day. Great job!
