A 3-year-old giraffe named Gracie, who went missing from Cedar Hollow Ranch in Leakey, Texas, was found on Friday after a two-week search. The 1,200-pound, 10-foot-tall giraffe was located about four miles south of the ranch in a remote, heavily wooded area by a helicopter. Vick Jones, the ranch manager, told local media that Gracie likely wandered away while feeding in an unfamiliar part of the ranch and accidentally exited through an unfenced area. The search went viral after Jones posted a missing alert on a local lost and found app, sparking widespread attention and even AI-generated memes of Gracie in various roles. Real County Sheriff Nathan Johnson confirmed that Jones contacted a veterinarian to safely capture and return Gracie to the ranch. The giraffe was last seen on a game camera west of Leakey, and a $5,000 reward had been offered for information leading to her safe return.
