Dr. Michael Henson+FollowZoo heartbreak: Kiko the giraffe’s tragic endKiko, a 13-year-old endangered Masai giraffe, died after getting caught in a door at the Toronto Zoo. He was exploring a new area while recovering from a hoof injury when the accident happened. Kiko was a big part of the zoo’s breeding program and leaves behind two calves (and one on the way). His loss hits hard, especially since Masai giraffes are already endangered—but conservation efforts are helping their numbers slowly rise. RIP, gentle giant. #Travel #KikoTheGiraffe #TorontoZoo110Share
