Two baby giraffes who went missing from a Virginia zoo last year have been found safe.

The giraffe calves vanished from the Natural Bridge Zoo in 2025 as state officials investigated allegations of animal abuse.

The Office of the Attorney General of Virginia located the giraffes, but did not share specifics about how or where they were found. The giraffes are now at a professional facility specializing in giraffe care, officials said.

The two calves' disappearance sparked a widespread search, and included radio ads including one where actress Alicia Silverstone offered $50,000 for information about the giraffes' location.

I’ve never been there but if it’s anything like the rest of Natural Bridge it’s sure to disappoint

2. I visited there when I was a little girl with my family. As I recall, I was not impressed.
