This May 25, 2015, photo provided by the Sacramento Zoo, shows Val, a giraffe at the zoo in Sacramento, Calif. The Sacramento Zoo is temporarily closed following the death of Val, one of its four giraffes, who passed away at the zoo Saturday, Aug. 10, 2019. Val turned 24 on Valentine's Day and was starting to show signs of aging. The zoo was closed so the animal care team can focus on transporting the giraffe to the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, where a necropsy will be performed to determine the cause of death.
