It seems like just about everyone is on giraffe watch 2017.
April, the 15-year-old giraffe, is still in labor at Animal Adventure Park in upstate New York. Park officials have been streaming April for weeks and millions continue to watch and wait.
Twitter users have especially been active with their commentary. Many are a tad frustrated at how long the whole process is taking.
At this point, are we even sure that April the Giraffe is pregnant? Maybe she just ate a lot of lettuce, you don't know.

April herself has even taken to Twitter to join in on the fun.

Park officials are riding the wave of April’s success. The adventure park launched a giraffe moji app, apparel lineand a Gofundme page to help support the animals.
Now, don’t think when the birth is over, you’re off the hook with the internet sensation. The park says on its Gofundme page they will be holding a naming campaign and gender reveal.
So, the April madness may never end.
