The small giraffe at Highpoint Haven named Finn was featured in an April 1 video posted by @geralds.life on TikTok yesterday.

Workers at the sanctuary have posted several videos of Finn on their social media pages since he was born.

Finn was born on March 16 at 10:41 am to another giraffe at the sanctuary named Harriet.
The Highpoint Haven employees have been recording and posting videos of Finn and Harriet together on social media since the day after he was born.
Before naming him Finn, the employees gave social media users the option to either name him Riley, Patrick, or Maximillion.
Finn had a successful medical checkup at the sanctuary and explored the Highpoint Haven barn while staying close to Harriet.
The baby giraffe’s cute play-by-play video shared sweet interactions with his excited mother, Harriet.
Finn stayed close to Harriet but managed to enjoy the freedom of the outdoors by the end of the video.
His mother, Harriet, gave birth to him on March 16 at 10:41 at Highpoint Haven. The employees confirmed on social media that there were no complications during the birth

Finn’s mother did indeed leave the barn without him last Sunday because she was ‘too excited’ according to a TikToker who did the video’s voice over.
The sanctuary employees, or as the TikToker referred them as the ‘human butlers,’ lured Harriet back into the barn with food.
Harriet then slowly walked out of the barn again after she was hoping to chomp on some leaves and twigs that an employee was holding.
Finn hurriedly followed his mom outside the barn, staying behind her almost the whole time.
The baby giraffe walked away from Harriet while she was eating, but he ran back over to her only a few seconds later.
‘I gave her a stern talking to and then we totally have a Lion King moment…’ said the TikToker who was speaking for Finn.
After spending some time running around, Finn eventually went back to the barn after a ‘pretty exhausting’ day and was comforted by Harriet.
Other TikTokers who watched the video couldn’t help but write about Finn and give him compliments.
According to the TikToker that did the voice over, Harriet left the barn before Finn and was lured back in by an employee who began feeding her
TikTok users have complimented Finn in the comments and a few of them praised the person who did the video voiceover and the reference to The Lion King
‘I love Finn! His grumpy face is seriously the bestest, one TikToker wrote.
More than one TikTok user has also praised the person who did the voiceover in the video, and one TikTok user joked about The Lion King reference.
‘Simba, everything the farm touches will be your kingdom,’ the person wrote.
TikTokers who have watched other videos of Finn have supported the baby giraffe in the comment section.
‘OMG I can’t believe I have been here since day one – live laugh love Finn.’
