It is evident that a female giraffe who is around three years of age and had been inside of the Reid Zoo in Tucson Arizona for a few months escaped from her enclosure for a few hours just to get some food when she was seen by zoo officials when Msituni which is the name of the female giraffe was seen eating food from a mesquite tree on Wednesday March 5.. Msituni offered no resistance to return to her home in about one hour as she returned to her habitat on her own. Zoo officials mention that they will make short term modifications inside of the zoo so that Msituni can adjust to living inside of the zoo. It is just a case of a female giraffe just taking a walk out of her enclosure without the intention of causing anyone harm since the zoo's opening was delayed for about 90 minutes.

That's really good that the giraffe returned of her own accord. I wouldn't like to try to herd a giraffe anywhere it didn't want to go.

Neither would I since some animals are not to be messed with.

I am glad to hear that the zoo is going to make some needed changes. Animals depend on us.

I am in agreement with you that the zoo will make some modifications as well to make sure that the giraffe does not cause anyone to be harmed.

It seems that the giraffe didn't escape from the confines of the Zoo compound grounds, only from its enclosure, and as the zoo was not open at the time, there was no danger to members of the public. They should make the giraffe's enclosure more secure, it seems, as if it escaped again, while people were there in the zoo, it might be scary for some people with a giraffe loose in the grounds.

You are right since no one to deal with a real life incident involving animals a tracking humans like in the Gill Man movies.
