Adding to the confusion I have as to why April the Giraffe's pregnancy was such a big deal, as giraffes have babies all the time, a new baby giraffe was born in Colorado today.
It was actually the 199th giraffe born at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs.
The zoo has a tradition of not naming the calf until after he or she is 30 days old, but they will NOT let the internet pick the name.
The new baby is now the 17th giraffe at the zoo, and as long as everything with it and it's mom goes well, could be on display at the zoo by tomorrow.
