Boy or Girl for April the Giraffe? There's an alert for that!

You can now keep tabs on April the giraffe’s pregnancy using text alerts . . . but it will cost you.

Can't wait to find out when April the giraffe finally delivers her baby?  Join the crowd!  Hundreds of thousands of people have been faithfully watching the live stream of April's enclosure at the Animal Adventure Park in Harpursville, New York, patiently waiting for a calf.

It's been about 16 months now that April's been pregnant and the folks at the zoo know we're wondering how much longer we're going to be waiting.  So they've come up with a text alert system to provide labor and baby announcements.  You can sign up for a one-time fee of $4.99.
