Missing Texas Giraffe Gracie Found Four Miles from Ranch After Nearly Two WeeksNext

Gracie, a three-year-old giraffe, went missing from Cedar Hollow Ranch in Real County, Texas, after escaping into rugged, rocky terrain nearly two weeks ago. Despite extensive searches using helicopters, drones, and ground teams, she remained unfound until recently. Authorities located Gracie about four miles from the ranch near a pond, appearing healthy. Efforts are underway to safely capture and return her, with the ranch owner and veterinarian involved in the operation.
