Millions of people watched live as a giraffe at the Los Angeles Zoo gave birth to a much anticipated baby calf. Here are some reasons to be happy you are not a pregnant Giraffe in a zoo. Every moment of the Giraffes pregnancy is broadcast via live updates on the internet and text message. Not much privacy. The giraffe’s poops are constantly monitored and shared with the public. The giraffe’s baby will also be around 6 feet tall. Sound good?

• Giraffes have it worse than humans also because they are pregnant for an average of 15 months.
• Captive pregnant giraffes also get to have their teats measured regularly and the results shared, an embarrassment spared human mothers.
