Dear Editor,

Has it occurred to anyone that perhaps Jafari may have mourned himself to death due to the loss of Amryn and Eleah?

Amryn passed and the necropsy came up with nothing. Shortly after that, Eleah passed, possibly due to mourning the loss of her offspring. Her necropsy came up with the same "no explanation."

Perhaps Jafari has passed for the same reason: loss of a loved one.

It's quite possible, as it has been known to happen with humans, so why not with giraffes?

And not to be a nervous nelly, but I'm now concerned about the one remaining giraffe, who may have some issues about being lonely.
