Anyone know when she is expected to deliver.  Saw her last delivery---it's amazing.

Re: Anyone watching April the giraffe?

I have checked in a few times over the past week. A couple of times I got to see some interaction between April and Daddy Oliver next door to her which was sweet. I was reading that the gestation period for a mother giraffe is between 13-15 months and the baby will weigh about 150lbs and stand about 6ft when it is born. Wow that is a long time to be pregnant and that is a big baby!

April the giraffe is showing “major changes” on Tuesday as she inches closer to giving birth at the Animal Adventure Park in Harpursville, New York.

Just now for the first time, I saw the keeper and WOW, this puts in perspective how BIG these animals are!!!

April looks so very uncomfortable, too, poor thing!

Re: Anyone watching April the giraffe?

Hello, humans of the Internet. I, April the pregnant giraffe, understand that you are interested in the impending birth of my calf. It is a joyous occasion to be sure, and I'm happy to share my joy with the hundreds of thousands of people watching my live stream on YouTube. But newsflash: Staring at me and demanding “Where’s that baby already??” is NOT helping.

Re: Anyone watching April the giraffe?

I've tried to watch but they don't move much.  Does anyone know why the male is kept apart from April?
