After months of waiting, April the Giraffe finally had her baby on Saturday at Animal Adventure Park in Harpursville. The baby boy was born around 10am and took his first steps later in the day. He stands 5-foot-9-inches tall and weighs 129 pounds. The park is holding a naming contest for their first baby giraffe. Votes cost $1 each and can be made online by visiting nameaprilscalf.com. Owner Jordan Patch says the money will go towards giraffe conservation efforts, Ava’s Little Heroes, and park maintenance. He says both calf and mom are healthy and doing well.
