WATCH LIVE: April the giraffe to give birth to calf

April the giraffe is expected to give birth to a new calf at Animal Adventure Park in Harpursville, New York.

She had previously given birth to her fourth calf back in April 2017; the birth drew more than 232 million YouTube live views during a seven-week period.

That calf was eventually named Tajiri. He was moved away from his mother to another barn last year.
