Woburn Safari Park performs landmark surgical procedure on Nubian giraffe Sahara

Woburn Safari Park successfully performed a rare and complex surgical procedure on Sahara, a Nubian giraffe, to treat a locking stifle condition that severely limited her mobility. The operation in early October adapted an equine surgical technique for the first time in giraffes, requiring a specialist team and careful management of the unique anaesthetic and physiological challenges posed by the animal's size and anatomy.
