Giraffe takes a tumble

Nothing more frightening than seeing a giraffe fall over and into a moat

Wow. I never seen that before, specially with the always careful giraffes. I hope the giraffe is okay. I wonder how the zoo got the giraffe back on exhibit.

Actually, that's not a former elephant exhibit. Last it house guanacos. In past tapir and rhinos. Never elephants. Moats are needed to keep the giraffe away from the people. It was just an accident. It happens. Giraffe is fine and got out on its own.
