A different giraffe gave birth, in case you need your giraffe birth fix

It's something.

The world continues to wait in anticipation for April (the now-famous giraffe) to give birth to her young. A popular livestream featuring April has been controversial since its launch, and April's rise to viral fame has been riddled with conspiracy theories and ridiculed by friendly trolls as anxious animal lovers await the birth.

But if you're sick of waiting for an update from April's laughably long birthing livestream —it's been over a month, now —the Chester Zoo in the United Kingdom welcomed a baby giraffe on Monday and captured the miracle of giraffe birth on camera for all to see.

Kinda brutal, right? Maybe it's time to ease off April's stream?
