April the giraffe has had a busy time lately. After going into labor early Saturday morning, April has appeared on Good Morning America, been written about in news outlets and even hurt her leg as the Inquisitr reported. There's no need to panic, however. The Animal Adventure Park (AAP), the Harpursville, New York petting zoo where April lives, assured the public that April and her calf are doing well. In addition to all of the excitement since April delivered birth on Saturday morning, there is sad news. The live giraffe cam will go offline sometime this week between Wednesday and Friday. It's been a wonderful journey and the Animal Adventure Park has done amazing things with the live cam. They have created a global conversation regarding wild giraffe populations. Once know as the silent extinction, we can truly say thanks to Animal Adventure Park for introducing the public to April the giraffe, as most people are aware of the plight giraffes' face now.
