タロンガ動物園さんのインスタグラム動画 - (タロンガ動物園Instagram)「We are devastated to announce the passing of our oldest Giraffe ‘Nyota’, who passed away last week at the impressive age of 28. Nyota was born at Taronga Zoo in 1992 and was a very special, one-of-a-kind, free-spirited lady. She delighted guests and keepers alike with her smart personality and was always the ‘star’ of the Giraffe herd as her name suggested in Swahili. While Nyota had been struggling with a number of age-related conditions including dental disease and arthritis, sadly her condition deteriorated rapidly last week and the difficult decision was made to euthanize her to prevent any suffering. Upon further investigation, vets confirmed she had a life-threatening perforated stomach ulcer. Nyota will be sadly missed by all her knew her, including the keepers who cared for her so closely throughout her life. We invite you to share your memories of Nyota and help us remember a truly beautiful member of the Taronga family. #forthewild」2月4日 14時58分
