The giraffe, nicknamed Ben, was born at the zoo in 1996. He had celebrated a birthday just six weeks prior to his death.
Benghazi, or Ben, who was born at the Oakland Zoo 1996, was euthanized Wednesday after the lingering effects of a back injury made it too difficult for him to rest comfortably, officials said.
The Oakland Zoo announced on social media Thursday that the animal was humanely euthanized this week. He had been suffering from lower back and sacrum injuries, which staff members at the zoo think he suffered while getting up from sleeping or lying down. It was getting difficult for the big animal to rest comfortably, zoo officials said.
Ben was trained at a young age to create paintings that were sold to support giraffe conservation in the wild Many of his family members, including siblings, nieces and nephews, lived with Ben at the zoo. His mother, T’Keyah, another longtime zoo member, died in 2017 when she was 28.
