April the Giraffe- Abbey Winiger
SUMMARY- April the giraffe has finally given birth after weeks and weeks of waiting. The baby was a not so little, baby boy. April resides in the animal Adventure Park in Harpursville, New York. Many fans have been watching a 15 year old April as she anticipated her fourth calf. After a 16 month waiting period, on Saturday morning 1.25 million fans watched as she gave birth over the zoos live stream.
ANALYSIS/SYNTHESIS- Before reading this article my mom had told me that the giraffe had finally given birth. This article was written to inform the public of how amazing this giraffe is. This article was written by Faith Karimi and she takes the point of view of excitement. This is truly amazing to see nature progress even in a zoo.
