(29 Aug 1995) Muscovites young and old welcomed the newest inhabitant of the
city zoo Tuesday (29/8) , a two-and-a-half year old baby giraffe.
Samson was delivered to his new home at the Moscow Zoo in a yellow
crate which barely contained his three-metre high frame. A gift
from the zoo in St Petersburg, Samson is already the third
generation in captivity from his breeding line and as a result,
has already adjusted to the harsh Russian weather. Natalya Istratova, spokeswoman for the zoo, described Samson's arrival as a big event and said the zoo had provided him with special living arrangements.
