Amid the flooding, creme egg debacle and other disasters, I thought we needed an upbeat story to follow on here. April is due to give birth at any time now. A few noteworthy points from the article:

  • April is 15 - her 4th calf
  • April has never lost a calf nor had a stillborn - odd rumor
  • Oliver is 5 - his 1st calf
  • The calf will weigh around 150 lb and will be about 6' 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.
  • Giraffes are pregnant for 15 months
  • Those "things" on their heads are called ossicones.

I just messaged CARIIS. Hope he isn't missing this!
 
Can we post screen shots of April without a link in this thread? I don't know how to link the feed.
ETA: or is that too gross?
MOO
 
Finally!!! April is pushing out that Buick and Oliver looks like saying "Hi Babe, you're on your own.."..;--) Hope all goes well, this is the ultimate Easter present.

I have collected way too many screenshots of giraffe butt in the past two months than I'm going to know what to do with. :waitasec:

And I'm also getting concerned. Not that I know how this should go. There just doesn't seem to be any progress in a while...
 
Cariis and u2forever are going to miss out :(

He took a sleeping pill last night! Maybe April is waiting on them. Wake up, y'all! [emoji3]
