The 17-year-old giraffe reached international popularity last year for the infamous livestream of her extremely long pregnancy. She eventually gave birth to Tajiri, a male calf who recently celebrated his first birthday. 

Jordan Patch, Animal Adventure Park owner, announced the big news on the TODAY show on Wednesday.
