"We think Geoffrey can live through inspiring generations of zoo-goers to care for giraffes and learn about the challenges they are facing in the wild," Tim Morrow, CEO and executive director of San Antonio Zoological Society said in a statement.
The zoo has since set up a GoFundMe to raise money for the Giraffe Conservation Foundation. The nonprofit says there are only 100,000 giraffes in the wild. The San Antonio Zoo hope to raise more than $100,000 to persuade the owners of Toys R Us to donate the use of Geoffrey to save the giraffes that are left.
