A three-month-old giraffe calf named Okidi, born at the Detroit Zoo on November 23, 2025, died on February 20, 2026, after sustaining a severe vertebral injury from colliding with a viewing panel in her indoor habitat before the zoo opened.
Despite round-the-clock veterinary care, the injury was deemed fatal, leading to euthanasia.
The herd, including her mother Zara, was allowed to observe the procedure to support social bonding.
The zoo expressed deep sorrow, honored Okidi’s brief life, and said it is reviewing habitat safety protocols to prevent future incidents.
