Will March snow bring April a baby giraffe? Activity is progressing in the web-famous mama-to-be’s pen, and staff will stay close despite the weather.
Babies always choose the most inconvenient times to make their appearance, and it seems giraffes are no different.
On Monday, as meteorologists warned that more than a foot of snow could hit parts of the East Coast after midnight, things started stirring in April the giraffe’s webcam-equipped maternity suite.
The Animal Adventure Park in Harpursville, New York, started livestreaming the activity in its pregnant giraffe’s pen back on Feb. 22, and checking in on April’s expectant state has become a favorite online activity.
But could the baby, April’s fourth, make a dramatic entrance in a blizzard?
“Approx 12:45 p.m. EST today staff began noting and documenting significant changes,” staffers wrote on the animal park’s Facebook page. “The vet was called and has been on site since. ”
And no one’s abandoning April, even if the almost-ides-of-March cause snow to fly and schools and roads to close.
