Columbus Zoo Probes Giraffe's Death

it's a jungle out there

A day earlier, two zebras died minutes after being moved to a temporary enclosure outside Columbus. They got spooked and slammed into fence posts, breaking their necks, officials said.

Winstel said the renovations likely were not a factor in the death of another giraffe about two weeks ago. That animal had a chronic illness and died of heart failure in its cage.
