When Is April The Giraffe Due? Live Stream Begins As Pregnancy Announced

April the giraffe is pregnant again. The giraffe became an internet sensation last year after more than 1.2 million people watched her give birth to son Tajiri.

Animal Adventure Park in Harpursville, New York, made the announcement of April's fifth pregnancy on Wednesday. The park's owner Jordan Patch appeared on NBC's Today and said the 15-year-old giraffe is due in spring 2019.

“The results are in and we are having a baby,” Patch said of April, who is mom to four other calves, including Tajiri. April’s baby daddy is Oliver the giraffe, Tajiri’s 6-year-old father.

“The average giraffe eats 10 to 20 lbs. of grain a day, and another 10 to 30 lbs. of hay, and a lot of carrots,” Patch said. “She eats and eats and eats.”

Millions of viewers were glued to the live feed as they waited for April to give birth to Tajiri. The extensive wait made some users claim the live stream was a hoax. But all speculation came to rest when April gave birth to Tajiri on April 15, 2017.

Because of her popularity, the park is already live-streaming April’s enclosure on YouTube. But for April's baby no. 5, fans will have to wait longer as she is expected to give birth in March or April.

Rumors about April's pregnancy surfaced last month when the park said in a Facebook post they have been gathering samples for 30 days and testing them in a lab to confirm the news.

The calf, Tajiri, was her first to be born at the park. Tajiri celebrated his birthday in April.

On April 14, 2017, the giraffe's fans were super excited to see some light discharge coming out of the giraffe. April’s mate Oliver routinely popped his head over to her enclosure to look on as the mother walked around trying to push the calf out.

At the time, one of the veterinarians said about the calf’s birth: “What I found astonishing was the meaning and purpose behind every move April made during delivery. This was evident when calf's face and head emerged from her body, but baby was not yet delivered. April meticulously and gracefully cleaned out his mouth and nostrils to remove any mucus that could cause obstruction, all made possible by her long tongue. At that moment, my faith in ‘design by nature’ was completely reinforced.”
