【[EP05] Lovely Ladies Dormitory】

April the giraffe is [EP05] Lovely Ladies Dormitorypregnant again, everyone, we are already tired.

The 17-year-old giraffe reached international popularity last year for the infamous livestream of her extremely long pregnancy. She eventually gave birth to Tajiri, a male calf who recently celebrated his first birthday.

Jordan Patch, Animal Adventure Park owner, announced the big news on the TODAY show on Wednesday.

"The results are in and we are having a baby," he exclaimed like a proud parent, or overly intrusive family friend.

The father of the baby is Oliver the giraffe, who also fathered Tajiri. This is April's fifth pregnancy. Although the average gestation period for a giraffe is around 15 months, Patch told the TODAY show that "April likes to go 16, 17, 18 ... 19 months."

April is due in early spring 2019, but knowing last year's saga, it could be even longer until she gives birth. Although the internet was initially enamored by the giraffe's beautiful gift of life last year, avid livestream watchers couldn't hide their impatience when there stillwasn't a baby giraffe by February.

It took so long for her to go into labor that people thought her pregnancy was a drawn out April Fools' joke by zoo staff. When she finally gave birth to her calf in April 2017, 1.2 million people were watching the livestream.

Look, we're happy for April. We really are. But we really can't get emotionally invested in another year and a half long giraffe pregnancy. We have thingsto do!

Twitter agrees.

@BZeches gets it. The world is basically on fire -- who has time to stay up all night watching a pregnant giraffe?
