Once upon a time, the internet was captivated by the charming April the giraffe and her little one. Enter Giraffe Mom, aka Sarah Johnson, who took a trip to Harpursville, New York, to meet these famous creatures in the flesh. Spoiler alert: the cuteness factor was off the charts!
“It was a mind-blowing experience,” Sarah shared with Country Living. “We’re just so grateful to have had this chance to meet them!” April welcomed her 129-pound baby boy on Saturday, and just days later, the duo met Sarah and her own bundle of joy. We’re not gonna lie; we’re a tad envious of the fun they had together!
For months, the world tuned in to watch April’s pregnancy unfold via live stream. And who can resist the allure of baby animals? Sarah went viral with a hilarious parody video, donning a giraffe mask while waiting for her own baby to arrive. With over 31 million views and 450,000 shares, this mom of four from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, became an internet sensation overnight.
“We’re besties in my head,” Sarah joked during an interview with Inside Edition, the news outlet that facilitated the epic playdate. “April just doesn’t know it yet!”
Sarah welcomed her son, whom she named Max, on March 8. “He’s arrived!! He’s absolutely perfect, healthy, and beautiful,” she posted on Facebook. Interestingly, there’s a petition circulating to name April’s calf the same name, which is just the sweetest thing ever! However, we’ll have to wait a bit longer to find out what everyone ultimately decides, as Animal Adventure Park is hosting a naming contest for the baby giraffe—votes are just a buck each!
