displace Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 (edited) I thought I would hear it here first. But, no! I had to read it somewhere else. BTW, do they even know how long a giraffe's gestation is? This makes me think not. Edited April 15, 2017 by displace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I thought I would hear it here first. But, no! I had to read it somewhere else. BTW, do they even know how long a giraffe's gestation is? This makes me think not. We had a thread on it including the link to the cam. Several of us watched it happen. I read a giraffe is pregnant for 15 months. I don't know what they calculated for her. I wasn't paying attention at first. April the giraffe. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavender's green Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I was surprised to learn of it on FB rather than here, too! Little freaky to have hooves hanging out for that long... I'm a fan of natural birth and have done it almost 3 times (last-minute emergency with #3), but the legs made me seriously queasy. But I liked that the giraffe (daddy?) in the next stall was so attentive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAMom Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 That was amazing to see live. :) Giraffe gestation is 15 months +/- 60 days. I'm not sure there is anything cuter than a baby giraffe. It's a BOY! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thessa516 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Also, I heard the reason they weren't sure about the due date was because she had been bred over a period of 3 months. They weren't sure which time she got pregnant. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
