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!

Transfer Taylor Mole provided some scoring punch in her debut with the UCSB women’s basketball team, but it wasn’t enough to help the Gauchos in their Big West Conference opener against UC Irvine.
After falling behind by 10 in the third quarter, UCSB made a late run in the fourth but came up short, falling 64-60 to the Anteaters to remain winless on the season.
