BREAKING: Youtube Internet Celebrity April The Giraffe Is Dead—According to reports from CNN, April the Giraffe, who became an internet celebrity by giving birth on a YouTube livestream in 2017, has died at the age of 20.
The Genius Media Nigeria gathered that the beloved animal was euthanized at the recommendation of her veterinarians due to her worsening arthritis, Animal Adventure Park in Harpursville, New York, announced in a Facebook post on Friday.
“We grieve with her many fans, near and far, as we say goodbye to the giraffe that can be credited with making a foothold for giraffe and giraffe conservation awareness in the 21st century,” the post read. “While her hoofprints in her yard will erode in time, the imprint she has made on the hearts of people around the world will never fade.”
The animal park has been April’s home for nearly six years. She had given birth to five calves, including Tajiri, the baby boy who made her famous. He was also the first calf to be born in the animal park, with 1.25 million people watching the livestream of his birth.
