BFA: Autumn the giraffe


After our discussion about Autumn the giraffe who is expected to give birth any day now at the Greenville Zoo, I would like for you to think about a few things. If you wish, research some information about giraffes - maybe the gestational period (pregnancy length), giraffes giving birth in captivity, or something else associated with giraffes and their calf. Also, why do you think nearly a quarter of a million people are following her on earthcam.com:

Is there something about animals in general that tug at our hearts or is it just nice to have a "good" news story?
Would you be interested in watching the live birth of her calf? Why or why not.
