Millions of people have been watching and waiting online for more than six weeks for a giraffe at a US zoo in New York state to give birth.

Tune in to the April the Giraffe livestream and all you'll see is a giraffe in an enclosure - yet she's been captivating people worldwide.

It is not clear exactly when April's waters will break.

In the meantime, feast your eyes on some of the animals born in zoos since April's livestream started.

April the giraffe's popularity has gone far beyond anything anticipated even by the staff at the Animal Adventure Park in Harpursville.

They have been so overwhelmed with questions they have had to ask people to stop emailing in.

But they have capitalised on the excitement of the surely-soon-to-happen birth by releasing merchandise and a paid-for text alert system.
