This Giraffe That Is About To Give Birth Is The Most Lit Thing On The Internet Right Now

Come on, April!

This is April, a 15-year-old giraffe living at the Animal Adventure Park in Harpursville, New York. April has given birth to three calves, and she's about to have her fourth.

April is a bit of a cougar because her baby daddy, Oliver, is only 5 — and this is his first baby, according to the park.

The park has been sharing photos of April on its Facebook page. Like every expecting mom, she proudly showed off that bump.

And she should, because giraffes are pregnant for 15 MONTHS.

As the birth of April's baby neared, the park decided to livestream her pen to capture the calf's entry into the world.

And people soon became OBSESSED with the stream. Everyone is invested AF in the baby giraffe.

I keep checking in on this giraffe.

In fact, according to NBC New York, more than 30 million people have watched the stream on YouTube.

At the time of this writing, about 75,000 people were watching it.

People couldn't handle the stress.

The giraffe stream was so viral, it even got targeted by trolls. The stream got pulled off YouTube on Thursday after it was reported for "sexual content" and "nudity."

The feed was later put back up without incident.

We are all pulling for you, April!
