April the Giraffe had another baby on Saturday.
April became a viral sensation in 2017, when a live stream was created to track the progress of her pregnancy.
Over 300,000 people watched April welcome her new calf Saturday morning, it doesn’t compare to the 1.2 million viewers who watched the birth of son Tajiri two years ago.
The new baby, also a boy, is April’s fifth offspring. Park officials say the newborn giraffe was on its feet by 1:27 p.m., and nursing by 1:51 p.m.

The City of Calgary will be the first ever Canadian city to host the X Games.
These winter games feature only the best in all things sports and snow related. Top snowboarders, skiers, and snowmobilers.
This agreement means that the X Games would be held in Calgary for a minimum of three years. Tourism Calgary has attempted to secure these rights for about a decade. Tourism Calgary is estimating that $75 million in annual economic activity would be generated and an estimated 75,000 spectators.
Calgary has secured exclusive rights to host the Winter X Games in 2020 through 2022, subject to securing corporate sponsorship. #yyc #winterxgames2020 #XGames https://t.co/hCiYfC2Bhw pic.twitter.com/HwLAxWUy1U
