Misha's three-day-old calf weighs in at a heavier-than-average 72 kilograms and was born as part of Perth Zoo's regional breeding program.
The giraffes are Rothchild's Giraffe species, which are the most endangered of all giraffe species.
There are only a few hundred found in Kenya and Uganda.
Zookeeper Bec Wood says the past 16 years have seen Perth contribute to the species' numbers.
"We've been part of the regional breeding program for quite a few years now," she said.
"The calf is Misha's seventh and we've had eight here born over the years as well.
"It's quite important for the region and for conservation as well."
The calf is yet to be named.
