[edit] Recent deaths

Not sure how to add this in the context of a general encyclopedia article, but the zoo has had three notable animal deaths since September 2007 when Hildy, a 33-year-old reticulated giraffe died. She was, at the time, the oldest giraffe in captivity. Boris, an African lion, died on April 2 at the age of 17. KeKe, a 39-year-old African elephant was euthanized on May 12 (Dallas Morning News link). --Dystopos (talk) 22:47, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
