ATLANTA, GA (WOLO) – A freak accident at a zoo in Atlanta killed a giraffe that was born in Columbia at the Riverbanks Zoo in 2010.

Zoo officials say 8-year-old “Zuberi” died after his neck became wedged in a small space in a metal railing.

Zoo officials say they are “thoroughly reviewing the entirety of the areas used by the giraffes.”
