HARPURSVILLE, N.Y. (WLS) -- The zoo that livestreamed April the Giraffe giving birth earlier this month has announced that a permanent camera is in the works.

"The Giraffe Cam is not gone forever! This week we will announce viewing day/times for you to check in and watch progress! This schedule will continue until noted differently. A permanent yard cam will go up this season which will also reconnect you to your favorite giraffe family," Animal Adventure Park announced on Facebook.

More than a million people watched a livestream as April gave birth to a boy calf.

The livestream and birth has brought in a lot of money to the rural upstate New York zoo, which says the money will go to park improvements, a contribution to the Giraffe Conservation Foundation and unexpected medical expenses for local children.
