It's a bittersweet symphony this life...
Left: Turkana, right: Malindis daughter Lindani.
Taken may and june 2011 at Zoo Duisburg. Do not steal!

Turkana died in June 2011, Lindani was born in May.
Rest in Peace Turkana. I will miss you terribly.


Did you know?
-That all giraffe species are endangered?
-That giraffes have 7 neck bones just like humans?
-That they can eat leaves even of thorny bushes like acazia, because their tongues are very long and flexible?
-That other animals (zebras, antelopes) like the company of giraffes, because they can with their long necks see danger much earlier?
-That Duisburg keeps 6 reticulated giraffes? (Male Kiringo, Female Malindi, Malindis son Mugambi, her daughter Lindani, and the children of Turkana, Kimoni and unnamed female)

yes she was :( I am sad to never see her again.
Luckily her latest calf is already over a year old so it does not need the mother anymore.
That is though the only good thing about her death :(
