“Do you remember the endless hours we spent viewing April the giraffe giving birth?”
I remember it well. Lots of sleepless nights. Judy, you were the smart one.
April gave birth on my youngest daughters birthday. April 15 named “Tajiri”. As far as I can tell Tajiri is still alive, but the only info I find is that he was 3 yrs. old in 2020.
“April gave birth to another male calf, “Azizi”, in 2019. Azizi was moved to a Texas zoo, and in 2020, he died of a condition that involved a twisted gut. The zoo said the condition was entirely unexpected and unpreventable.”
“On April 2, 2021, sixteen days before her 21st birthday, Animal Adventure Park announced that “April” had been euthanized at the age of 20 because of worsening arthritis. She was cremated and her ashes were returned to the park.
Thanks.
I just checked the Animal Adventure Park cam. Someone in that chat just said good night to, “Johari, Alora, Oliver, Tajiri, and Desmond.” So, I’m guessing Taj is alive and well there.
