The world fell in love with April the Giraffe after the birth of her fourth calf, later named Tajiri, was live streamed in April 2017. Incredibly, more than 1.2 million people watched the natural birth at Animal Adventure Park in Harpursville, New York. Now excitement is mounting after April’s fifth pregnancy was revealed by her carers. The 17-year-old is pregnant once again by her much younger beau Oliver, seven, who is also the father of Tajiri.
On Monday, March 4, Animal Adventure Park tweeted from April’s official Twitter account: “April continues to advance, her size quite impressive!
“She continues to show interest in food items and is accepting of keeper veterinary inspection.
“We do observe periods of neck extensions, tail raising, and ‘zoning out’.”
