April the Giraffe is in labor

Today might be the day for people who have been anxiously watching April the giraffe on the webcam in her pen from Animal Adventure Park of Harpursville, New York.

More than 672,000 people are watching, according to the Facebook cam from the park. The hooves are emerging and staff members have put down extra straw in the pen.

April has been an internet sensation for more than two months.

The calf will weigh around 150 pounds and will be about 6 feet tall at birth. The front hooves will come out first followed by the snout.

Mom will naturally raise the calf, with weaning could take between 6-10 months, maybe longer. We will not rush this process - it is just a documented range of captive weaning.
