One baby giraffe would be exciting enough, but the Fort Worth Zoo is feeling extra thankful this year. The zoo announced that not one, but two baby male reticulated giraffes were born within the last month.
The zoo announced that not one, but two baby male reticulated giraffes were born within the last month.
With the birth of Bruno the western lowland gorilla earlier this month and Asian elephant Brazos in Oct. of last year, the two baby giraffes are doubling the zoo's baby boy count. The older of the two calves, Sherlock, was born on Oct. 26, 2022. Just a few weeks later, on Nov. 6, 2022, his trusty sidekick Watson was born. For giraffes, both baby boys are relatively small; Sherlock is 5'10" and weighs 171 lbs, and Watson is 6'3". Zookeepers said they can't get a weight for Watson yet - he's sticking closely to his mother's side for now.
Sherlock and Watson are the second and third baby giraffes, resprectively, to be born at the Fort Worth zoo this year. A baby girl, Pele was born this June.In:

When the meetings are done well, they can make a team’s day-to-day activities more efficient and better, build trust and psychological safety, and improve employees’ experience, motivation, and engagement at work. The author has found that although there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to one-on-ones, they are most successful when the meeting is dominated by topics of importance to the direct report rather than issues that are top of mind for the manager. Managers should focus on making sure the meetings take place, creating space for genuine conversation, asking good questions, offering support, and helping team members get what they need to thrive in both their short-term performance and their long-term growth.
