Millions of people from around the world were watching a live feed of a giraffe preparing the give birth at the Animal Adventure Park in New York.
April is 15 years old. The calf will weigh around 150 pounds and be about 6' tall at birth.
Thursday morning, the YouTube stream abruptly stopped.
The Animal Adventure Park posted to their Facebook page that the stream was suspended for "nudity & sexual content. They said "Animal Rights Extremists" were responsible.
They said they would pick back up the stream at 8AM on another live streaming platform, Facebook.
That was shared more than 1,000 times in 10 minutes and the response in the comments is mixed. Some are asking if they need to clothe the giraffe, named April.
Others are confused about how the giraffe could be flagged for nudity.
YouTube has has community guidelines that encourage posters to use "common-sense rules" that include steering clear of "nudity or sexual content."

At 8AM, the park took to Facebook Live to discuss their displeasure about the Giraffe stream's removal. The park said stream is educational and taking it down is harming to the species' survival.
