Last summer at the Dallas Zoo, Hildy the giraffe crossed over to the next plane. She was believed to be the oldest giraffe in the world. At 33, she had six children and 39 grandchildren. At the time of her death, our hearts went out to the zoo staff and especially to Kibo, her daughter and constant companion. But we also had a question: how did the bereaved handle Hildy’s 14-foot-tall, 1,500-pound, lifeless body? We’re a little slow, so it took awhile. Finally, though, we have the answer. See if you can guess.
A. Cremation
B. Burial
C. Fed to the lions
D. Thrown in the garbage
