The Resume

    (April 18, 2000-April 2, 2021)
    Giraffe
    Resides in Harpursville, New York
    Lives in Animal Adventure Park
    Birthed her male calf on April 15, 2017
    Late stage pregnancy, labor and birth live streamed on YouTube and Facebook

Why she might be annoying:

    Her pregnancy lasted 15 months!
    She has a Twitter profile.
    She was cooped up in a pen during her latter pregnancy stages and her labor.
    For several weeks (starting on February 20, 2017), viewers hoping to witness her calf's birth watched her in her pen walking, eating and laying down without any signs of labor.
    Her calf's birth occurred two months past the estimated due date prolonging viewers having to watch her in her daily life activities.
    Her mate, and the baby's father Oliver, is ten years younger than her.
    Live stream footage caught her kicking a vet in the balls.
    She birthed standing up making the calf drop a few feet to the ground.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She was protecting her baby when she kicked the vet.
    She was 15 years old at the time of the pregnancy.
    Giraffes typically birth standing up.
    Internet trolls flagged her live stream for having sexual content but the airing continued.
    She has heart-shaped markings on her coat!
    She gave birth during the Easter Weekend.
    Through YouTube live streaming, over one million viewers witnessed the birth.
    The park held a contest to name the calf.
    The calf was born almost six feet tall and is her fourth baby.
    The park's decision to live stream was a response from April's fans asking about the impending birth, hoping to witness it.
    After the highly anticipated birth, the zoo continued the live stream so viewers can watch her bonding with her baby.
    Her story gave the world a happy break from the bad stories the media often covers.
