Leakey, Texas – Gracie, the runaway giraffe who has eluded capture for nearly two weeks, has been found. On Friday, the Real County Sheriff’s Office said Gracie was spotted approximately four miles from the Cedar Hollow Ranch, where she was living prior to her disappearance.
Real County Sheriff Nathan T. Johnson said:
“We found her. She’s fat and happy. We’re going to have to bring in a team and sedate her so we can move her. She had a catch me if you can sucker’s attitude.”
According to the sheriff, Gracie’s owner, Vick Jones, is “really happy” that the giraffe is safe and that she will be home soon.
