The Milwaukee County Zoo in Wisconsin announced that a 17-year-old male giraffe died unexpectedly on Monday morning, adding that the average age of males in zoos is 14.
"He grew up at MCZ, and Zoo staff and guests watched him go from a gangly half-grown calf to a handsome bull over the past 17 years," the zoo said in a press release."Baha has been MCZ’s breeding bull for the past decade, fathering four male calves with giraffe Ziggy, and fathering three female calves with giraffe Marlee."
Zoo officials said he was the largest giraffe in the herd and was easy to recognize with his bumpy face. He was also friendly and outgoing and allowed guests to feed him at public feedings or behind the scenes tours. Not only that, Baha was also the first giraffe in the herd to allow veterinary staff to draw blood, he participated in hoof radiographs, and took part in a study requiring he and his sister Rahna to wear trackers one day a week, often presenting his leg on cue to allow zookeepers to put the bracelet on.
The zoo said Baha’s memory will live on through his offspring, including three at the zoo named Asante, Maya and Poppy.Get all the stories you need-to-know from the most powerful name in news delivered first thing every morning to your inbox
