Cali the giraffe is gone, leaving behind a 17 ½-foot hole in the hearts of visitors and staff at California’s Chafee Zoo.
Cali was a 23-year-old reticulated giraffe—quite old for the species—who had spent 22 of those years in the Chaffee Zoo at Fresno, California. He was transferred from Lee Richardson Zoo in Garden City, Kansas, in 1995.
