Lightning strike kills two giraffes
Officials at a Florida wildlife park say two giraffes that died last month were killed by lightning.
Lion Country Safari posted Tuesday that recent pathology results confirmed that the giraffes died as a result of a lightning strike and that the deaths were instantaneous.
Officials at the facility in Palm Beach County say Lily and Jioni were in a pasture on May 3 when a severe thunderstorm quickly developed. The giraffes had access to numerous shelters in the multi-acre habitat if they chose to use them.
