Smiles all around
Moments after birth
Everything’s good
April, the world famous mother giraffe, gave birth to her fifth calf, a boy, Saturday at the Animal Adventure Park in Harpursville, New York. The calf was born at 12:43 p.m. April went into labor around 11 a.m. Saturday. The newborn giraffe was steady and on its feet by 1:27 p.m., and nursing by 1:51 p.m. April and her calf were promptly examined by Dr. Tim Slater, the park’s veterinarian. Park owner Jordan Patch said both mom and baby are doing well.
