My mom went into labor 6 weeks early because she was trying to repaint the kitchen. Have they tried giving the giraffe some paint?

Hey guys, remember when I made this thread like a month ago. April is still figuring out how to give birth.

I think I've got it. We just recently discovered that there are actually four species of giraffe right? So what if things like standard giraffe gestation were based on one species of giraffe, but it's different for April's species?

How come modern medical science can tell a woman what day she's going to give birth months out, but top veterinarians can't offer a better estimate for giraffe birth more accurate than "maybe sometime in February?"
Modern medical science can't do this at all. The doctor can tell you when the baby should ideally come out but then the baby is just like ha ha gently caress you I'll just come out whenever :dealwithit:

Anyway I'm pretty sure this dumb giraffe is reabsorbing her calf now. She's like a real live Sophie the Giraffe after a toddler has chewed on her for a year: if you cut her open it'd be just air and mould inside.

I noticed one of the live streams has started taking donations. There were people donating $100 and more. I was like wtf?? I think this is all just a scam.

Can't a lot of mammals self-abort pregnancies and absorb the fetus? Maybe April gives no fucks?

Pfft.

The stream was being sponsored by Mazuri, a company which sells exotic animal feed.

Was. Probably because they only had so much advertising money budgeted and it ran out before the baby fell out.

Though I'm not discounting the possibilities of either April absorbing the life energy of her own spawn or Mazuri's PR department catching the same moment I did when April tried to eat some grass by throwing it over her head.

Someone at the Mazuri HQ had just watched Speed and got a really awesome idea to raise funds but it's gone too far and they don't know how to stop. There's no brakes on this train, as they say

Not strong at all, they regularly break under the weight of their heads. It doesn't kill them though, so they run around and it's all flopping around and poo poo, it's p hosed up tbh

Sorry, but the rampant use of DDT-based insecticides has caused the giraffes to lay extremely-weakened eggs, and none survived the transition into precious, juicy giraffe-belut.

Preferred giraffe sex is male-on-male rape, with females being at the bottom of the priority list below "literally just humping the air." So, no.

It'll actually be a month in about 3.5 days. You struck comedy wine here; the thread title gets better with age.

I remember when I was a kid, being taught sex ed in a windowless van by a giraffe puppet. Left me with the clearly mistaken impression that giraffes knew how sex worked.

that wasn't a sex ed lesson and it wasn't a giraffe puppet. you were molested and the "puppet" was the guy's penis.

..............no, I think I'd remember if my father had a van.

No, no, this was a seperate event. The entire class would be bundled into the van at least once a year and there'd be two strange and overly enthusiastic people - it was the 90's - with the puppet and a TV. Suss, but more informative than abstinence only so w/e

Having 24/7 visual access to animals that should be cool makes it pretty clear that almost everything living is boring 95% of the time

I mean this one's trapped in a room til it gives birth in captivity but I bet everyday giraffes are just as boring. There's a reason Planet Earth has "making of" segments that are just as long as the episodes themselves that are basically about how they waited 4 months with 24 hour suirvalence until a penguin threw up

The giraffe emojis are out (unlike the baby.) The stream's now sponsored by Toys'Я'Us with a giraffe's head emerging from the Я so now even a corporate logo has given birth to a giraffe before April has.
