    Recently 12-year old male Giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis) Casper passed away. According to ZTL this male arrived from Tierpark Berlin in 2012 and he was the only giraffe at Skopje Zoo.

    Kasper was not the male from Berlin TP....that was Egon - he died in the begining of 2014.
    Kasper came up from another institution in germany.
    Kasper was not the only giraffe at Skopje...if i am right they still have another male there.

    Sad news from Skopje zoo, 44-year old zookeeper Riste Trajkovski passed away yesterday. One of the species he took care of were the giraffes. Sadly one of the giraffes also passed away on the same day.
