There’s a new baby giraffe in town!<\/p>\n

April the Giraffe, who gained Internet fame in 2017<\/a> when she was live-streamed giving birth, welcomed her fifth calf into the world on Saturday. Animal Adventure Park once again streamed<\/a> the birth and April’s own Twitter account announced on Saturday morning that she was in labor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to USA Today<\/em><\/a>, April gave birth just after 12:40 p.m. ET. The 17-year-old giraffe has been an Animal Adventure Park in Harpursville, New York since 2015.<\/p>\n

Animal Adventure Park’s owner Jordan Patch<\/strong> announced in July that the world-famous animal was pregnant<\/a> again and would be expecting her fifth calf in the early spring. The new calf, whose name has not been announced yet, has the same father as its sibling, Tajiri<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n

His name is Oliver <\/strong>a.k.a. “Ollie.” Ollie and April both live in the same Giraffe Cabin at the park, too.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Patch explained on the Today<\/em> show  in July that they don’t know the sex of the giraffe until April gives birth.<\/p>\n

USA To<\/em>day <\/em>reports that over 301,000 people tuned in to watch the birth. Although it’s a tad less than the 1 million-plus people who witness Tajiri’s birth, it’s still a feat nonetheless.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n

According to April the Giraffe’s website<\/a>, some of her favorite things include carrots, enrichment and painting. Ollie’s include carrots, enrichment and April. Aww! <\/p>\n

However, it looks like Taj might need to learn some lessons as a big sibling because he likes carrots, romaine and the spotlight.<\/p>\n

We can’t wait to learn the name of April and Ollie’s newest calf. Congrats on the newborn!<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
