Giraffe watch: April showing more signs of progress



HARPURSVILLE, NY  – The wait is still on for giraffe mother-to-be April, who is expected to go into labor and give birth to her fourth calf any day now.

She lives at the Animal Adventure Park in Harpursville, New York.

Saturday morning, the staff at the park released this update on April:




They’ve also noted that April’s appetite is dropping off a bit, which is a good sign of imminent labor.

Another update was posted hours later, which explains why the calf’s father, Oliver, isn’t in the same pen with April.
