3-Month-Old Giraffe Dies at Zoo Miami After Tragic Incident

The young giraffe, named Saba, suffered a fatal neck injury overnight, prompting an ongoing investigation by zoo officials.

A 3-month-old female giraffe named Saba died at Zoo Miami after breaking its neck, possibly due to being startled and running into a fence.
The incident occurred overnight, and no zoo staff witnessed the event. A necropsy confirmed the cause of death as a broken neck due to asphyxiation.
Zoo Miami officials are actively investigating the incident but have not found any evidence of predators or other external factors that could explain the giraffe's death.
The rest of the giraffe herd has shown no signs of stress or abnormal behavior following the incident.
Zoo Miami is considering installing cameras in the giraffe habitat to better understand and prevent such occurrences in the future.
