Cassandra Snyder+FollowBoston’s baby giraffe beats the oddsA newborn giraffe at Boston’s Franklin Park Zoo faced a rough start—he couldn’t nurse or stand on his own, putting his life at serious risk. Thanks to a remarkable team effort between zoo vets and Tufts’ Hospital for Large Animals, this little guy got around-the-clock care, plasma transfusions, and even eye treatment before finally reuniting with his mom. It’s amazing to see how teamwork and expertise can save even the most vulnerable animals. What do you think—should more zoos partner with local veterinary hospitals for specialized care like this? #Pets #Boston #FranklinParkZoo41Share
