In the realm of viral videos, one recent clip featuring a pregnant woman donning a giraffe head has captured the attention of over 11 million viewers. Yes, you read that right. Allow us to explain.
Meet April
Meet a unique character in Harpursville, New York, who is preparing to welcome her fourth child. This mom-to-be has been expecting for an astonishing 15 months, and her baby is projected to weigh around 150 pounds and measure 72 inches long. Her name is April, and she happens to be a giraffe residing at Animal Adventure Park.
The Viral Video
In a now-iconic seven-minute video, Erin McKenzie, who embodies April the Giraffe (complete with pearls, because both are fabulous women), entertains herself by pacing the room, lounging on her bed, rocking in a chair, dancing, and even attempting some jumping jacks to pass the time. Admittedly, I didn’t catch every second of the footage, but the sheer oddity of it all had me intrigued. While it might not have been side-splitting, it certainly falls into the category of wonderfully bizarre.
April became an internet sensation after a webcam was set up in her barn, live-streaming her every move to eager viewers. Since the stream launched just over a week ago, millions have tuned in to watch April’s relatively uneventful day-to-day life, with 97,600 viewers logged in at the time of this writing. As anticipation builds for April’s big moment, Erin McKenzie decided to creatively tap into this buzz, resulting in her comedic video that has exploded in popularity.
Initial Reactions
Initially, when I stumbled upon the video, I was taken aback and briefly thought I had stumbled upon something entirely different. Once I realized what was going on, I found it amusing—and thankfully, there was only one giraffe involved.
In her video’s comments, Erin shared her obsession with April, which inspired her and her husband to purchase giraffe masks (as one does). As the views skyrocketed, Erin remarked, “I honestly didn’t think so many people would find this enjoyable!” Viewers certainly did; many commented with laughter-filled messages like, “I nearly choked from laughing!” and “I’m rolling on the floor in tears! This is so adorable!!”
Looking Ahead
We appreciate Erin’s creativity but are relieved she hasn’t taken it too far with a constant live stream of her antics. Best of luck to Erin as she prepares to welcome her little one—who we assume will be named April, or Aprilo if it’s a boy.
