A South Carolina mom whose impression of a livestreamed pregnant giraffe at an upstate New York zoo was viewed more than 30 million times on Facebook has given birth. Erin Dietrich posted a Facebook Live video of herself Saturday walking around a bedroom wearing a giraffe mask and showing of her pregnant belly.
The 15-year-old giraffe named "April" who has captivated millions of people across the world as they watch a livestream in anxious anticipation of the birth of her fourth calf at an upstate New York zoo is still pregnant and doing well. Veterinarians with the Animal Adventure Park in Harpursville, outside Binghamton, said April's progression continues, but giraffes tend to hide signs of labor as a natural instinct, so they can't confirm active labor.
The Animal Adventure Park in Harpursville, New York, is live streaming video from April's enclosure. Watch the live stream below, courtesy of the park.
