Two baby giraffes that vanished from a Virginia zoo about a year ago have been found safe, according to reports. The calves disappeared after Virginia state officials seized roughly 100 animals from the zoo while investigating allegations of animal abuse. Following the seizure, the two giraffes were among the animals whose whereabouts were unclear for an extended period. Authorities later identified the giraffes and confirmed they are alive and doing well, though the reports do not provide detailed information on where they were held during the intervening time or whether any additional investigations or legal actions are ongoing. The case began when state officials acted as part of their probe into the zoo’s treatment of animals, leading to the removal of many animals for safekeeping. After the seizure, the two giraffes’ sudden disappearance drew attention, with subsequent updates limited until the announcement that they have now been located and found safe.
