News AK Giraffe in Labour on Stage

[Coaster Lover]

I ride KS last Friday and didn't spot a pregnant giraffe. I assume she'd be pretty obvious.

I've found that it is never safe to ask if or assume a woman is pregnant... just to be safe, I apply that logic to all species...

It's those sneaky Brits adding letters to English words again.....

I’m Canadian, so make sure you lump us in there. It is my thread after all and I put Labour in the name

You Canadians are just too nice to criticize.

You’re right. I’m sorry for getting involved!

With our next (4th!) baby due in about 9 weeks, I'm sure my significant other appreciates this strategy.

Wow, 4? Congratulations to both of you!

That's coming quick. Make sure you get your FP+ for KS so the delivery goes well!

Ironically enough, I'm supposed to be taking a group of 168 parents and teachers to WDW for a band/choir trip beginning on March 23nd... with a private breakfast and ride on KS March 28. The baby's due date is March 22nd.

About a live birth on the Safari? I should hope none!

Welcome to the world we live in. People will find any reason to complain, no matter how dumb it seems.

AK Giraffe in Labour on Stage
I read the thread title and my first thought was "They actually built a stage and made an attraction out of a giraffe giving birth?!?! What is this, the state fair animal barn?" I blame my thought process on it being Monday and not enough coffee yet.

Extra points just for having a Wheel of Time reference in your name.

I just missed it. I was on the safari that morning right after park open. We were stalled for quite a while but nothing had begun yet. There was a truck near the giraffe area monitoring things. We didn't know this was about to happen at that point of course. Soon after I got off news was spreading on what was happening.

"On calm nights, baby Who girls, and tiny Who fellas, drift from the skies in their own pumbercellas". Everyone knows that...

Given the mortality rate of giraffe calves during and soon after birth in captivity, I'm surprised at this. Additionally, not being able to quickly and safely isolate the calf should an issue arise creates may extra, unnecessary risks.

I have a friend who told me the barn was being occupied at the time of the birth so the vets literally had no place to take her
