The giraffe who may have had the most famous animal birth ever -- a world entry streamed live for tens of millions of people by a New York zoo -- is turning 1 this month.
Animal Adventure Park in Harpursville is throwing a birthday party April 15 for Tajiri, the son of April and Oliver.
April's pregnancy drew more than 232 million YouTube live views during a seven-week period.
Tajiri means "hope" in Swahili. He has grown to nearly 10 feet tall (3 meters). He was 5 feet 9 inches (1.75 meters) when he was born.
He'll get a special birthday cake that's healthy for giraffes.
Once again, the park near Binghamton will share the happy occasion with viewers around the world through its Giraffe Cam .
