Have you been following the pregnant Giraffe in the Animal Adventure Park in New York? She has been pregnant since 2015! The average gestation for giraffe's is 14-16 months. Recently they said they could see the baby so it much be soon.
April the Giraffe is close to giving birth! Watch live from the Animal Adventure Park in New York.

Almost two years. Yikes! Can you imagine a human being pregnant that long?

Yes, I bet it is. Keep watching that feed and you will see it when it is born.

Wow, I never knew they had their babies in the ovens for that long of a time. Amazing what you find out on the news. Can you imagine being pregnant for that length of time? I'll have to take a look at your link tomorrow on my tablet since I still have yet to hook up my speakers. I may be able to do that soon since my knee is healing nicely and I can now stand for a little while to figure out the plugs and such.

No, don't even want to think about being pregnant that long. Or delivering those legs and the neck. Glad to hear that your knee is healing well.

@celticeagle I've not looked at the video as yet, and it sounds like the delivery is shown on it, so I'll know more in a bit. I was going to say that the neck and legs may not be as long as they'd be shortly thereafter depending on how quickly those babies do grow. Maybe I'll edit this comment after looking.
I'm waiting for my tablet to warm up so I can peek at it.
Just looked at about four minutes and that was enough. She doesn't look big enough to manage a 150 pd baby giraffe. I wonder how a baby fetus is tucked away in the womb. Maybe I'll check that out one day if I'm bored. There's even a location in the UK that is taking bets on when it will be born. They figure they'd get on board with all the folks paying attention to this world-wide and especially since they said nothing much is happening with the royal family these days.
Somewhere on that page I saw a possible link to a clothing line, but couldn't find it just now.
