Hello everyone! I'm the new male baby giraffe at the Singapore Zoo. Here's five things about me:

1) I'm the tallest SG50 baby: when I was born, I was 1.9 metres tall. Which is taller than most dudes in Singapore (wink, wink).

2) My birthday is August 31, 2015. It's been 28 long years since the Singapore Zoo had a giraffe calf. Maybe the zoo should give out baby bonuses, too.

3) My mum's name is Roni, she's from Israel. My dad, Growie, is from the Netherlands. I hope when they have a naming contest in the next few months, I'll get a more imaginative name. Like 'Atas'. Oh, I'm so funny sometimes.

Update: I've been named Jubilee. At least it isn't Growfie, Gamba, Gao Gao, Griffin or Max (the other shortlisted names).

4) I look like a Tokyo Banana.

5) I spend my time nibbling on leaves and chopped vegetables. And you can check me out at the Wild Africa zone of the Singapore Zoo.

Watch me run around in the video below:
