The Toronto Zoo has shared the cause of death for a young giraffe that passed away on Thursday.
The zoo provided on Friday the preliminary results of a necropsy done on its youngest giraffe, Matu, who died on Thursday morning while under general anesthesia for a castration procedure. According to the facility, thetwo-year-old giraffe regurgitated stomach content during the procedure, resulting in respiratory and cardiac arrest.
The zoo said it modified Matu’s diet leading up to the procedure, indicating that the giraffe fasted a few days prior to reduce the amount of stomach content. Matu, a Masai giraffe, was born at the zoo on Feb. 25, 2022. Masai giraffes are considered to be endangered.
