Seneca Park Zoo officials say a Masai giraffe has died, after getting stuck in a support structure over the weekend.

Six-year-old Parker was found unresponsive Sunday morning.

He had come to the zoo in 2018, and had fathered one of the three remaining giraffes.

A zoo veterinarian says Parker was in good health before the accident.

Workers are fixing the giraffe enclosure to prevent anything like this from happening again.
