k2bdeutmeyer Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 All these weeks I've been sick and looking for something.....anything to pass the time. Who knew all I needed was a pregnant giraffe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest inoubliable Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Um. I just saw her tail swish to the side and it looked like something was...hanging out. Anyone else see that?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welovetoread Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 ah yes, I remember the thread. How are things now? And totally off topic, but I think, judging from your user name, we might have a last name in common :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said to my husband earlier (He's in bed now, smart man!)

higginszoo Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 My dd and I flew in and out of GSP airport this weekend. There was a brief discussion about changing our plans to make a side trip to see Autumn, but alas, not enough time. :001_smile: (My mom, who was driving, did think we were nuts.)

RoughCollie Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 (edited) I saw Walter crouch down a little while ago. I thought it was Autumn, but when he turned around, I saw his tail. Edited October 20, 2012 by RoughCollie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under the actual camera, you'll see the Hall of Fame pics. And under THOSE, are where you can click on either the barn cam or the paddock cam. HTH!

Dina in Oklahoma Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 (edited) This was posted on Facebook: "Good morning everyone, Autumn did very well last night. She will be out on exhibit again this morning and Walter will be in the barn. Then they will switch around 1:30pm. Don't forget we close early again today (stopping ticket sales at 2:30pm) so that we can open for Boo in the Zoo at 4pm. Hope to see you there!!" But the giraffe in the barn has the four leave clover on the left side so that should be Autumn?:confused: ETA: Maybe not Edited October 20, 2012 by Dina in Oklahoma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildcat Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I've been watching her so much, I know that was not her that just left. The zoo's webpage/facebook note says that Autumn is on display this morning and Walter will be in and out of the barn around 1:30 Eastern, when they'll switch. Does anyone know why they are kept separate and why they aren't on display all day and penned at night? It seems like they spend a lot of time in the barn.... it seems so small. I thought Autumn was there because of her pregnancy, but I'm confused now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
