Animal Adventure Park's giraffe is still waiting to give birth, as the internet watches. And so is a pregnant woman in South Carolina. Erin Dietrich donned a giraffe mask and started livestreaming from Facebook on Sunday night from a camera mounted at about the same angle as April the pregnant giraffe's livecam, WWL-TV reports. She ultimately posted a 7-minute video of herself, baring her pregnant belly, pacing around her bedroom ... and then rocking in a rocking chair ... and then stretching ... and then dancing, all while failing to give birth. The video has gone viral, WXYZ reports, racking up more than 5.2 million views in less than 12 hours of Dietrich posting it. (More viral video stories.)
