2020 continues to be THE WORST!

You may see "April the Giraffe" is trending on social media once again, but it's not got a good reason..

According to a Facebook post by made the East Texas Zoo and Gator Park, Azizi, the most recent calf of April the Giraffe, died unexpectedly.
"We join the East Texas Zoo and Gator Park in mourning the loss of Azizi, who passed unexpectedly at their facility on Tuesday. Azizi was the most recent, and last, calf of April the Giraffe. We know that Azizi's passing could not have been predicted nor prevented. His loss is absolutely devastating to our team, and he will be loved, missed, and cherished by the global Animal Adventure Park community. This news is heartbreaking, and we extend our condolences and support to the facility that Azizi called home."

It was only a year and a half ago when social media was OVER THE MOON about the big announcement that April had given birth to her second calf.

I spent SO much time watching April on their web cam, waiting for her to give birth to this large nugget..
