“Our entire zoo family is still mourning this sudden and tragic loss,” said Colleen Baird, interim associate director of animal care and welfare at the zoo. “From the staff and volunteers who loved and cared for her to the visitors she inspired each visit, Emara will be missed by all.” Zoo staff is assessing the African Savannah Yard’s fencing to see if any modifications need to be made for the safety of the other animals living there. Hartmann’s Mountain zebras, ostriches and African grey-crowned cranes also reside in this habitat.
Emara was brought to Calgary in 2016 from the San Diego Zoo. She is remembered by her caregivers as a cautious, curious and gentle giraffe.Article content
