April the giraffe slides into YouTube traffic history
We didn't need the official stats to know that April the giraffe broke some records. After all, she was pregnant for what felt like forever before finally giving birth Saturday. But YouTube calculated the numbers and, yep, the pregnant giraffe's livestream and birth were totally record-setting.
SEE ALSO: Please don't name April the giraffe's baby HarambeApril, the 15-year-old giraffe at the Animal Adventure Park zoo in Harpursville, New York, was a viral video star for just 66 days. Giraffes gestate for about 15 months, and the zoo trained a camera on her starting Feb. 10 when they thought she was likely to give birth soon. In that short amount of time, the stream became the second most live-viewed channel in YouTube history, the video site said.

All that waiting added up to 232 million live views since early February. That's 7.6 million minutes spent watching a pregnant giraffe in a pen. April was up there with Lady Gaga and Zayn on live view stats. And she's a giraffe.
Early Saturday morning, her calf started poking out. Labor had actually started! The word spread quickly around the internet, and by the time her male calf was born, more than 1.2 million people were watching the livestream. That makes it one of the top five most-watched moments for a live event everon YouTube.
It felt like the world watched April's every move. Credit: youtube livestream It wasn't just the live birth that made Saturday a record day; overall the day saw 14 million live views. Cuz, I mean, come on, that calf learning to walk and wobble around was too cute to look away from.
By Monday afternoon, with the calf making occasional appearances in the livefeed, almost 90,000 viewers were still holding on. The appeal of April is strong—pregnant or not.
