Baby giraffe expires
Print Edition
A BABY giraffe which was denied her mother’s milk has died of malnutrition in a Taipei zoo despite a two-month-long battle to save her.
The fate of “Hsiao He” — whose 10-year-old mother was also born in the zoo but who refused to feed her calf — made headlines in online media and on television.
“The mother was very nervous. She stayed away when her baby tried to approach for milk. For unknown reasons, the baby had since refused to open her mouth,” Taipei Zoo spokesman Eric Tsao said.
Hsiao He, who weighed 59 kilograms at birth, died early on Sunday weighing only 68 kilograms despite round-the-clock care by a team of zookeepers.
