I've become mesmerized.
April, the pregnant giraffe in the Animal Adventure Park outside of Binghamton, NY, has become an internet sensation. Yes, there are other live animal webcams on the internet, but for some reason April, the giraffe, caught my attention last week and I'm finding it hard to not have the live feed on when I am working at my computer. (I've even checked her progress in the middle of the night the past few nights.) Some people have been watching for over a month!
The birth of her calf is supposedly imminent, maybe even before you receive this email that I'm writing on Monday afternoon. Contractions are occurring from time to time and other physical changes have taken place. But, it is my understanding that delivery dates for giraffes can be + or - 2 months! You can follow her progress and maybe eventually get to see the new calf on this live stream. (Did you know that giraffe calves are dropped 5-6 feet to the ground when they are born??) :-/
Isn't technology amazing?? It can help us keep our minds active and learning all the time!
Tech tip for today - Only use the link in the above email to access the live stream; unfortunately, there have been LOTS of fake "April" sites springing up. They look like the "real" page, but are showing old video and, of course, asking for donations.
