Most people clamor to Jackson, New Jersey’s Six Flags Great Adventure for rides like the new Zumanjaro Drop of Doom, but over the next few weeks that death drop will be overshadowed by a new arrival at the park: a baby giraffe named Mika.

The 5-foot, 10-inch female was born on October 11th to first-time mother Noel. Mika is the ninth giraffe born at the theme park’s Safari Off Road Adventure .

You can get your first chance to see her this weekend, when Mika is set free in the Off Road Adventure. For now, check out a video of her below.
