I was in a giraffe barn at a zoo I volunteered at 1 hour after a calf was born. She was already standing and curious and within inches of 6 feet tall! She stuck her tongue through the side of the enclosure and licked me with a purple, sticky giraffe tongue. Her little face was so soft when I petted her. Amazing memory.

I used to raise alpacas, which are the new-world relatives to giraffes. Their babies (crias) are also born in the "diving" position. They HAVE to come out that way. If a foreleg is tucked it causes their shoulder to roll in such a way that baby will get stuck. I attended one birth where baby had a leg tucked and I had to push him back in a little bit and get my arm in there to untuck his leg. Mama didn't like it but baby came right out and they were both ok.
Also, they need to hang out of the canal like that to drain the fluid from their long throat. When a baby drops too soon or mama lays down, we have to pick the newborn up and spin around (like playing helicopter with a kid) and use centrifugal force to get the fluid out. Holding on to a slimy, wiggly newborn while you do that is really difficult!

It's a long fall but designed to happen that way. The fall breaks the umbilical cord and the impact gets the baby breathing. It's fine!
