I have watched her off/on since last Friday and I have grown very fond of her. She's so extraordinary to watch. I've always liked giraffes, but I have a whole new love for the animal now.
Quoting: KickinIt Not dumb at all. Millions are watching for the same reason. And those eyes - so beautiful! |

That's been happening here and there. My guess is it's just a fly or something landing on her that makes her itch. I could be way off on that though, but I know horses will do that too so that's why I assume it's not labor-related.
Quoting: KickinIt She looks more swollen 'back there' than this morning. Quoting: WhiteAngel Good grief, do you have Xray eyes? lol. I can't see "back there" enough to even get a clue! Quoting: KickinIt You have to be watching at just the right moment, lol. It was something we looked for when a cow calf was going to be born once on my aunt's farm. Gets thicker and swollen. She has been eating off and on and I thought they went off their food 12 hours or so before birth. Quoting: WhiteAngel I think it was on Sunday, one of the caretakers took a picture of her "back there" while in the pen. I guess that's one way they determine where she's at with labor, because it's not like they can do much else. She is still a wild animal. Interesting about the food. I didn't know that, but I did notice her appetite continues to be good. She grazes all day long! |

Quoting: Simple27 I hope they do too, because we're now all going to want to keep up with the baby! I haven't heard if they have plans for this or not though. Also, I love how when she bends all the way over to get food or whatever off the ground, one of her hind legs hikes up and kinda dangles while she does it. Usually her left hind leg. Cracks me up every time. |

Da fuq was that? Is that normal? She was just leaning all awkwardly and had one of her back legs up off the floor a little. And stayed like that for a bit. That HAD to have been a contraction. Then again, I know fuck all about giraffe births. ~*Ride the Wave*~ |

I'm guessing this is normal, she's been doing it since I've been watching her. I think for her to get her head all the way to the ground, this is the only way it works. Maybe she's not limber enough, lol. Or, maybe it only happens when they have a gigantic baby in their womb, making it harder for them to bend all the way over. |
