Is April The Giraffe About To Give Birth? Social Media Gets Impatient As Keepers Mention 'Omen Of Impending Birth'

While thousands of social media users await April the giraffe to give birth, keepers at the Animal Adventure Park in New York said they spotted the “face and neck of a young giraffe” in April’s bedding Sunday, believed to be an omen of the impending birth. For more than a week, millions of viewers have tuned in to YouTube to witness the birth of the giraffe calf.

"What many are calling an omen of the impending birth; the face and neck of a young giraffe appeared in the bedding this afternoon. Pretty neat if you ask us," the keepers wrote on the zoo's Facebook page. "April was reportedly on edge this afternoon during veterinary examination. This evening, keeper report suggests a bit more calm now. There is a significant amount of belly movement and tail raising. Appetite is notably strong also."

The giraffe recently got "spooky" after extreme kicking from its unborn calf, keepers said, adding that there are no signs of the calf yet.

"April continues to be a very much pregnant giraffe!" the zoo wrote in its daily update on Facebook. "She was reported as being a little 'spooky' last evening, which was likely due to the many intense baby kicks observed by keepers."

The original live stream had received 6 million views, but it was later taken down after reports that it contained “nudity” and “sexually explicit content.” A new live video was released that received another 30 million views over eight days.

On Saturday, the live feed experienced glitches and the Animal Adventure Park later apologized for the error.

"We did experience some glitches last night, both on the video feed and the facebook page, but we believe those have been resolved. Our apologies on the cam being down for some time and the Evening Update that was drafted, but did not post," the zoo wrote.
