When will April the giraffe give birth? Latest odds and updates as the world waits
AS the world waits for April the giraffe to give birth, here are the latest odds on when her baby calf will finally arrive.
Millions around the world are hooked on a live stream of the pregnant giraffe at the Animal Adventure Park in upstate New York.
April is now so famous, Paddy Power is offering a series of betting specials on her calf’s including name, sex, and date of birth.
The odds of April the giraffe giving birth today are 6/1, while the chances of April giving birth tomorrow or Thursday are 5/6.
Looking further ahead, the odds of her giving birth on Monday March 27th or even later are 5/6.
Paddy Power said: “With no Royal Baby news to keep us entertained and with everyone talking about April the Giraffe we thought we’d offer odds on her new arrival.
“Apparently the calf will be 120kgs and 6ft when she finally pops out – which really makes you wonder why people would want to watch it on the internet.”
The latest update from April’s vet said that the pregnant giraffe was happy and healthy but was still not in labour.
The vet said: “Predicting these things is next to impossible… When you are working with a world-wide spectacle you can imagine how aggravating that is.”
April’s vet suggested that April had a bad Monday because behaviourally she was a “little off” and did not come running over during her check-up.
