A livestream of a giraffe giving birth in a zoo was removed from Youtube for reportedly containing "nudity" and "sexually explicit content."
A New York zoo, Animal Adventure Park, was streaming April the giraffe's birth cam to educate viewers on the animal's birthing progress.
When animal activists complained about the explicit content the livestream was pulled, according to a zoo spokesman.
"They reported our YouTube cam as sexually explicit, containing nude content which made for its removal on YouTube," he said in a Facebook Live video.
"You've removed an educational tool and you've harmed the species' survival more than you could ever recognise," he told activists.
