2 giraffe calves found safe after disappearing from Virginia zoo more than a year ago
Two giraffe calves missing from Virginia's Natural Bridge Zoo since 2025 were found safe and relocated to a professional giraffe care facility. The zoo faced animal abuse investigations leading to the seizure of 100 animals, with four co-owners facing 55 animal cruelty charges. A nationwide search involving PETA and a $50,000 reward helped locate the calves.
