The Topeka Zoo's giraffe population decreased from five to four this week as it bid farewell to Konza, a male who will turn 3 years old in July.
Konza left by trailer Monday for a zoo in the western United States, the identity of which is expected to be announced later by the receiving zoo.
"True to his nature, he made us all think he wasn't going to go but then he braved up and went right in," the zoo said Monday on its Facebook page. "We will miss him so much but can't wait to see how well he does in his new home!"
