Utah’s Hogle Zoo has welcomed a baby boy giraffe. Zoo officials announced that the calf was born Monday to parents Minka, age 8, and Ja, age 5.

The zoo explained that staff prepared a cushioned birthing area to soften the calf’s natural six-foot fall at birth. Because of the close bond between Minka and her caretakers, the team was able to stay nearby and help as the newborn stood up for the first time. After gaining balance, the calf was soon able to walk on his own.

Amy Winehouse stands today as one of the most influential and emotionally honest artists of the 21st century because her music represents a rare combination of classic musical soul and modern, fearless self-expression. She didn’t just borrow from jazz, soul, and R&B; she lived inside those traditions and reshaped them for a new generation, helping to open the door for many artists who came after her to embrace more personal, less polished, more emotionally direct songwriting. Her voice, with its smoky, weathered depth and instinctive sense of phrasing, sounded as if it carried a lifetime of experience, and she could turn a single line into something funny, bitter, and heartbreaking all at once. As a writer, she possessed an extraordinary level of self-awareness, using sharp wit, irony, and brutal honesty to explore love, pride, vulnerability, regret, addiction, and self-destruction, transforming her own struggles into songs that felt universal. She never tried to hide behind a perfect image or a carefully controlled persona; instead, she let her flaws, contradictions, and pain become the emotional core of her art, and that courage permanently changed what audiences expected from pop and soul music. While her beehive hair and bold eyeliner made her an unforgettable cultural symbol, it is her voice, her words, and her uncompromising emotional truth that truly define her legacy, and even years after her passing, her music continues to influence artists and move listeners around the world.
