April the girafffe "might" be pregnant again

I watched it too, for a while. The words across the bottom kept saying "Any time now!" but it kept not happening and I got tired of waiting.

Congratulations, April the Giraffe..."maybe" :)
 

That's exciting news! I thought that it was kind of cruel to keep her on camera actually. Who pregnant would like a camera on them 24/7? Animals have feelings, too.
 
Giraffes get by on about 30 minutes of sleep a night.

All in all, adult giraffes get by on just 30 minutes of sleep a night (on average). It’s the shortest sleep requirement in the entire animal kingdom!


Why so wakeful?


Because an animal that large lying down in the middle of the plains is just too tempting a feast for nearby predators. Giraffes are huge, and can run as fast as 35 miles an hour; when they’re alert, they’re not easy targets.


But standing up is an awkward, lengthy procedure, and the animals aren’t equipped to play serious defense; they don’t have thick hides, built-in armor, or sharp teeth to help them fight back when they’re at risk of becoming dinner.
