"Excitement Builds as Seneca Park Zoo Anticipates Arrival of Baby Giraffe"

The Seneca Park Zoo in Rochester, New York, is preparing to welcome a baby giraffe in October, as Iggy, one of the giraffes at the zoo, is pregnant. Giraffe births carry significant risk, but if successful, this birth will continue the legacy of Parker, the only adult male giraffe who passed away earlier this year. The zoo recently received biopsy results confirming that another giraffe, Kipenzi, had cancer. More information about the upcoming birth will be released soon.

"Giraffe at Seneca Park Zoo Diagnosed with Cancer"

Biopsy results have revealed that Kipenzi, a Masai giraffe at Seneca Park Zoo, has squamous cell carcinoma, a type of cancer that is invasive through the jawbone. The tumor cannot be surgically removed without compromising Kipenzi's ability to eat, and the prognosis is poor. The zoo will closely monitor Kipenzi's behavior and tumor growth, and if she experiences severe pain and medications are ineffective, euthanasia may be considered to prevent her from suffering.

Life-Threatening Growth on Giraffe's Jaw Prompts High-Risk Procedure at Seneca Park Zoo

Kipenzi, a 6-year-old Masai giraffe at Seneca Park Zoo, has a life-threatening growth under her jaw that is impacting her ability to eat. Veterinarians will perform a biopsy and radiograph to determine the nature of the growth, which they suspect could be a tumor. Anesthesia poses risks for giraffes due to their body structure, but the team will carefully monitor Kipenzi's vital signs during the procedure. If the growth is determined to be malignant, there may be limited treatment options available.
