NAIROBI, Kenya, Jul 19- In a rare occurrence, a giraffe has given birth to a set of twins.
The magical occurrence happened in Nairobi National Park.
“One of the Maasai giraffes in Nairobi National Park has given birth to a set of twins. This is an extremely rare occurrence. We welcome the newborns with love,” Tourism Cabinet Secretary Najib Balala said in a Tweet.
The Nairobi National Park is the only park within a city in the world.
A short drive out of Nairobi’s central business district is the Nairobi National Park.
Wide open grass plains and backdrop of the city scrapers, scattered acacia bush play host to a wide variety of wildlife including the endangered black rhino, lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, buffaloes, giraffes, and a diverse birdlife with over 400 species recorded.Â
Visitors can enjoy the park’s picnic sites, three campsites, and walking trails for hikers.
