April 3 (UPI) -- April the Giraffe, a YouTube sensation whose live-streamed births attracted millions of viewers, has died at age 20, a zoo in New York announced.
The veterinary team at Animal Adventure Park said in a Facebook post they made "every possible effort to keep her comfortable and prolong her life," but her arthritis had worsened to the point that "euthanasia was the humane" action.

She died Friday.
At age 20, "April was in her golden years," and had surpassed the average life expectancy of 10 years to 15 years in the wild, the statement from the Harpursville, N.Y., facility, which was April's home for nearly six years, said.
