Zoo officials later announced on their Twitter page that the newborn giraffe was male and posted a photo of the still-unnamed calf and its mother with the message: "All is well".
The zoo had said it will hold an online competition to name the baby giraffe once it's born. Owner Jordan Patch drew the attention of his global following to the crucial moment on Facebook, saying: "Everybody are you watching?" "After many months of pregnancy, both mom and calf are doing fine".
Animal Adventure Park is giving all of April's fans a chance to further their bond by helping to choose a name for her baby.
The calf was born yesterday at the zoo in Harpursville, New York, about 209 km northwest of New York City. April's appetite is also healthy; she is "eating everything in sight" and has made a full recovery, AAP representatives said on Facebook. You may watch April and her calf in the live cam below.
Animal Adventure is in rural Harpursville, New York. If you haven't watched April give birth, you can relive the event in the videos below. The proud papa is a 5-year-old giraffe named Oliver. This is his first offspring.

The giraffe calf that was anxiously anticipated by live stream viewers around the world got a thorough checkup from a vet on Sunday, his second day of life.
The park's livestream in the giraffe pen, a huge hit since going live on February 22, continues to rank among YouTube's top five trending videos. It is now closed and will open to the public in mid-May.
The zoo began streaming live footage of April's pen on February 10, but the feed was briefly banned from YouTube for "nudity and sexual content" two weeks later. April was pregnant for 16 months, a month longer than the average giraffe gestation period.
