April the Giraffe’s baby has a birthday soon
HARPURSVILLE, N.Y. – A giraffe whose birth became an internet sensation is turning a year old this month.
Animal Adventure Park in Harpursville, New York, is throwing a birthday party April 15 for Tajiri (tah-JEER’-ee), the son of April and Oliver.
April’s pregnancy drew more than 232 million YouTube live views during a seven-week period.
Tajiri means “hope” in Swahili. He has grown to nearly 10 feet tall (3 metres). He was 5 feet 9 inches (1.75 metres) when he was born.
He’ll get a special birthday cake that’s healthy for giraffes.
Once again, the park near Binghamton will share the happy occasion with viewers around the world through its Giraffe Cam .
