More than 300,000 people watched Azizi's birth live on YouTube last March. April drew more than 232 million views on the site during a seven-week period in 2017 before she bore another calf, Tajiri.

April was retired from the park's breeding program in June.

The park in Harpursville, New York, says 9-foot-tall Azizi and another young male will be the Texas facility's first giraffes.
