April the Giraffe on Good Morning America today!

I started a new thread because I thought people who might be interested might not see this comment deep in the other thread.

 

Anyway, Good Morning America is doing a live report from April's barn this morning (Friday).  They've got the lights on early this morning and both stalls cleaned.  So they'll look their best for company and live tv!

 

 


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

They both look well-prepared for their national television debut, and their pens look immaculate!  Wonder how long they'll stay that way..

There was a baby giraffe born at the Baltimore Zoo in February of this year (the 23rd, I believe).  Wonder why that didn't receive as much hoopla as April?  The new baby in Baltimore is named Willow.  Soooo cute!

Was there a live cam on Juma before the birth?  The live cam at Animal Adventure Park has created more interest in April than there otherwise would have been.  It's smart marketing, I suppose.

@gidgetgh, thank you for pointing out the incorrect link.  Apparently when you watch an ABC video it automatically updates for the next in line.  I did not notice that.

 

I have corrected the link in both posts to http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/april-giraffe-expected-give-birth-46486410

@SaRina, where did you hear that?  Dr. Tim was in with her a few minutes ago and I've seen keepers outside the stall keeping check on her. 

 

What I haven't seen today is much in the way of baby activity.
