The giraffe was born?

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.

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.

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!

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.
