Official April the Giraffe Apparel
www.wwsport.com/r/AprilTheGiraffe Post pregnancy nutrition is important, so Mazuri is gifting 100s of pounds of food to keep April on her A-Game! The Official Feed Company of Animal Adventure! http://www.mazuri.com/ Inspired to sponsor our Giraffes? We have a safe platform form gifting linked below:
https://www.gofundme.com/ApriltheGiraffe THINGS TO KNOW:
April is 15 - her 4th calf
April has never lost a calf nor had a stillborn
Oliver is 5 - his 1st calf

They have some of the largest indoor stalls in the nation (sq ft per animal). We take pride in our indoor housing and the level of enrichment and care to keep them happy and healthy. Unsafe weather and yard conditions may limit their yard access.

The calf will weigh around 150lb and will be about 6' tall at birth.
The front hooves will come out first followed by the snout.

Mom will naturally raise the calf, with weaning could take between 6-10 months, maybe longer. We will not rush this process – it is just a documented range of captive weaning.

Once the calf is born, we will have a contest to name it.

The keepers will go in with April, clean her pen, give her treats (but not Oliver). He is a bull - and a bull is a bull is a bull!

Giraffes are pregnant for 15 months on average

Upon naturally weaning, the calf will move on to another facility to start a breeding program there. We cannot retain offspring, as it would lead to incestuous mating and undermine the genetics of the program and species.

Those "things" on their heads are called ossicones.

Bulls (male giraffes) only really care about two things- fighting and the unmentionable....
Oliver may share space with April, but for short periods. Bulls take no part in rearing young.

They eat hay and specialized giraffe diet but love romaine lettuce and carrot treats.

April's water source, enrichment, and solo hay feeder are out of sight of the camera view.

This is Animal Adventure's first giraffe calf.

Verse 1
This is my worship, this is my offering
In every moment, I withhold nothing
I’m learning to trust You, even when I can’t see it
Even in suffering, I have to believe it

Chorus
If You say it’s wrong, then I’ll say no
If You say release, I’m letting go
If You’re in it with me, I’ll begin
And when You say to jump, I’m diving in
If You say be still, then I will wait
If You say to trust, I will obey
I don’t wanna follow my own way I’m done chasing feelings Spirit lead me

Verse 2
It felt like a burden, but once I could grasp it
You took me further, further then I was asking
Simply to see You, it’s worth it all
My life is an altar, let Your fire fall

Chorus
If You say it’s wrong, then I’ll say no
If You say release, I’m letting go
If You’re in it with me, I’ll begin
And when You say to jump, I’m diving in
If You say be still, then I will wait
If You say to trust, I will obey
Teach me how to follow in Your way
I’m done chasing feelings Spirit lead me

Bridge
When all hope is gone and Your Word is all I got
I have to believe You still bring water from the rocks
To satisfy my thirst, to love me at my worst
And even when I don’t remember
You remind me of my worth
I don’t trust my ways, I’m trading in my thoughts
I’d lay down everything, cause’ You’re all that I want
I’ve landed on my knees, this is the cup You have for me
And even when it don’t make sense
I’m gonna let Your Spirit lead

Spirit lead me, Spirit lead me Spirit lead me, Spirit lead me

Chorus
If You say it’s wrong, then I’ll say no
If You say release, I’m letting go
If You’re in it with me, I’ll begin
And when You say to jump, I’m diving in
If You say be still, then I will wait
If You say to trust, I will obey
You’re the only Truth, The Life, The Way
I’m done chasing feelings Spirit lead me (repeat)
