Two giraffes die in one week in Russian zoo
Veterinary specialists in the Russian city of Krasnoyarsk are investigating why two giraffes in the city's Royev Ruchei zoo have died in the space of just a week, the zoo's Marina Shilikova told RIA Novosti on Wednesday.
"Two giraffes have died in a week. We've set up a commission today to study the causes of this tragedy. Park specialists and experts from Krasnoyarsk's veterinary service will investigate this, to find out what caused their death," she said.
Six giraffes from South Africa were brought to the park in 2007, and were an instant hit with the public in Krasnoyarsk. The city's zoo is one of the largest in Russia, covering 74 acres (30 hectares).
