Gracie, a giraffe that escaped from Cedar Hollow Ranch in Texas Hill Country, is found safe after about two weeks on the loose, according to multiple reports. The animal went missing from the remote private ranch in the Leakey area and sparked a sustained search that included aerial tracking. Several outlets say helicopters were used to locate Gracie, who was later spotted a few miles from the ranch she left. Authorities identified her as the “wandering giraffe,” and a county sheriff announced the discovery on social media. Reports also note that Gracie appeared to be in good condition, with one outlet saying she looked “a little fatter” than before. While accounts differ slightly on details such as the exact weight and description of her condition, they consistently describe the timeline: escape, nearly two-week search with aerial support, and a final sighting Friday close to her enclosure. The reports also reference earlier confusion in the coverage, including claims that Gracie had been found before the confirmed location was established.
