This is how petting zoos operate. Please give money to an AZA accredited zoo.

Poor thing - he is lying down and trying to sleep, but he can’t figure out what to do with his neck!

283

Reminds me of my youngest when he used to fall asleep in the high chair. Head droop. Snap. Head droop. Snap. Too cute but I want to reach in there and help him arrange his neck and head in a better position.

284

Ah, he figured it out! Day one, another lesson learned.

For the longest time I thought this thread was about a TV series titled April. :))

Then I noticed an article on a news website I frequent.

I grew up on a dairy farm and watched plenty of cows give birth, but the video I just found online was really graphic. I wonder if the live cam you were all watching showed the same images.

I love how the baby can stand and walk so quickly. Fascinating to watch.

During labor, there was video from hand-held cameras. It was rather graphic (but fascinating).
The park reports this morning that the baby is 5’ 9" and weighs 129 pounds.

287

129 lbs, give or take. Not the most precise weighing method. :smiley:

288

So where is the baby? I haven’t seen him/her in a couple of hours.

289

I think he likes to sleep out of sight, in that corner of the stall directly below the camera. I’ve seen him pop up from that area a couple of times today and last night.

Up and nursing.

291

Yes he’s in the corner and nursing now! So cute!

292

He really is adorable! Wondering if they will let him spend some time in Oliver’s pen so he can bond with dad.

293

I think the bull giraffes are not involved.

From Wikipedia:

294

Yesterday, I saw April “protecting” the baby from Dr. Tim. Two kicks, although I think neither met its target.

295

Why oh Why has the baby decided to sleep in the corner that the camera cannot see =((
