"Kimba began intermittent bouts of lameness last summer, which we've been managing with laser therapy and medications that mitigate symptoms," said Cincinnati Zoo's curator of mammals Christina Gorsuch in a news release.
While the procedure was successful, there were later complications.
Kimba, the zoo's only male giraffe, stood over 16 feet tall and was the father of six other giraffes, with a seventh on the way.
The giraffe came to the Cincinnati Zoo in 2018 from the Roger Williams Park Zoo in Providence, Rhode Island, where one his calves lives now.
According to the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, the average life expectancy for male giraffes is 13.4 years.
