Ringo, the 27th giraffe born this year at Safari West, came into the world at 3:30 p.m. July 7. He joined the country’s largest private giraffe herd and shares the birthday of legendary Beatles drummer Ringo Starr, for whom he is named. Press Democrat staff photographer John Burgess was there to document the occasion.
