‘She was standing there swishing her tail’: Giraffe missing for two weeks found ‘in good shape’

A giraffe named Gracie, who had been missing for two weeks after wandering away from her enclosure in Texas Hill Country, was finally found about 6.4km south of where she disappeared. The aerial search efforts paid off, and she was discovered in good health. This incident highlights the challenges zoos face in ensuring the safety and containment of large, mobile animals. While it's a relief to have Gracie back, it underscores the need for better tracking and containment strategies to prevent future escapes.
