Como Park Zoo euthanizes Skeeter the giraffe, a favorite of visitors and zookeepers
Skeeter the giraffe, who called St. Paul’s Como Park Zoo home for 16 years, was euthanized Thursday following months of declining health. “It’s hard to put into words what Skeeter has meant to our community. Skeeter was everyone’s giraffe,” senior zookeeper Jill Erzar said in a news release. “He was our tallest animal, our largest by weight, and I would argue our most charismatic. He inspired countless children with his soulful eyes and the excited way he took snacks.”
