All that waiting added up to 232 million live views since early February. That's 7.6 million minutes spent watching a pregnant giraffe in a pen. April was up there with Lady Gaga and Zayn on live view stats. And she's a giraffe.
Early Saturday morning, her calf started poking out. Labor had actually started! The word spread quickly around the internet, and by the time her male calf was born, more than 1.2 million people were watching the livestream. That makes it one of the top five most-watched moments for a live event everon YouTube.
