Tragic Death of Baby Giraffe at North Carolina Zoo

A baby giraffe named Fenn has died at the North Carolina Zoo after being startled by another giraffe and hitting his head on a gate while trying to run away. The 6-month-old giraffe sustained head and neck trauma from the fall and despite veterinary care, he passed away. The zoo, which claims to be the world's largest natural habitat zoo, expressed its heartbreak over Fenn's untimely death and has brought in a grief counselor to support staff members. Fenn was described as an energetic and beloved member of the giraffe herd and will be remembered with fondness by all who knew him.
