Lehigh Valley Zoo to welcome new giraffe
Since the article says South Carolina, I'm guessing the new resident is going to be coming from Greenville zoo which has Masai Giraffes in their collection. It'll probably be a female that the zoo can pair up with Tatu.

Found out from a zoo docent the zoo has lost four goats over the last year. Spanky, the male Toggenburg goat, died last year at age 13. Dinah and Darla, the female Toggenburg goats, died this past winter at age 12 due to cancer. Alfalfa, the Nubian goat, just died last month at age 13 from severe arthritis with his old age. The only one of the original goats left is Phoebe, a 5 year old female Toggenburg goat who was born at LV Zoo. Buckwheat, the other Nubian goat, died all the way back in early 2019. The zoo is down to four goats, which are Phoebe and Stormy, Jasper and Onyx, three young goats who arrived last year.
