After a tense search involving trail cameras and a helicopter crew, she was safely located Friday morning and sedated by vets before being returned home. The ranch is now installing new fencing to prevent future escapes, while reminding everyone: if you spot a giraffe in the wild, stay back and call authorities—these majestic creatures are declining in the wild, and every one matters.
