VOICED: Giraffes hold the fort in Paris zoo construction site

The zoo on the outskirts of Paris has been closed for renovation for four years, but the giraffes and a few lemurs remain. Despite the construction noise, the giraffes are well cared for and have adapted to their environment. Moving them was not feasible due to their size and social bonds. The giraffes have maintained their routine and even had three births. In six months, they will move to a larger space and await the zoo's reopening in two years.
