NY - Giraffe Watch: April, 15, due to give birth at Animal Adventure Park #2

[wendybtn]

I have not read one post on this thread, but I have seen pics and video of two other giraffes giving birth in the past ten days!

Anyone here have the hoof alert?

Not I. I am not sure we will be able to see hooves or the rest of the baby through video without some PCP.

Why do I think that position she is having with the arched tail means something?
She must know I was going to sleep early.

I've noticed that too. I know that when dogs are in heat their tales arch like that.
Why is it sunny on my live feed?
Did she have the baby?

While impatiently awaiting for April, we can check zooborns.com blog wa newborn zoo animal. Each day usu 3-5 pix, and a 1-2 min vid and several paragraphs about baby, parent(s) &/or sibs.

If you just can't wait any longer specifically for a giraffe birthing vid, you can watch this April 10, 2017 entry: http://www.zooborns.com/zooborns/2017/04/chester-zoos-giraffe-birth-caught-on-camera.html

"CCTV cameras at Chester Zoo recently captured the beautiful moment a rare Rothschild’s Giraffe calf was born. The five-foot-tall male arrived April 3 to eight-year-old mum Orla. His fall to earth and first wobbly steps were also caught on camera."
Here's that little tyke born Ap 3.

They are just soooo darn cute!!!!!! Seriously such a smooshy loveable face.

It would be interesting to compare some of the earliest screenshots to how she looks now.

Anyone here have the hoof alert?

:dance: I have the "hoof alert" set up for my phone. My kids and I have been watching April since the end of February. I will post here when I get the alert. ... I dare say it will be tonight... I hope so, my 11 year old and I have a bet that includes french toast for breakfast in effect if April delivers by 8am our time!

 

[2Hope4]

Oh come on camera! Don't fail us now! Ugh!

dyannaON. Yes, Mohawks. Or as some say Faux-Hawks. LOL.

Giraffes just look like they are born with attitude. I love it. Reminds me of my almost 22yr old son.
