Kumi, a baby giraffe at San Diego Safari Park, euthanized after vicious attack by antelope, say authorities
The baby giraffe had to be euthanized after a serious wound to his belly which was most likely caused by an antelope living in the same quarters
A five-month-old baby giraffe from the San Diego Zoo had to be euthanized after it was viciously attacked and mauled by another animal toward the end of last month. The gruesome stomach injury on the giraffe seems to be caused as a result of an antelope attack.
On the morning of December 29, zookeepers found Kumi, the baby giraffe, lying in his East Africa field habitat with a horrible wound to his belly, the San Diego Zoo shared in a statement which they released on Facebook. According to zoo officials, Kumi was injured by an antelope staying in the same quarters as many species living in the wild together also co-exist with one another in the Safari Parks.
