Abstract
A 9‐year‐old female Rothschild giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis rothschildi ), weighing approximately 900 kg, at Longleat Safari Park, Wiltshire, UK was presented with dystocia in September 2005. This paper details the surgical and anaesthetic procedures carried out performing a caesarean section to remove a dead male calf and the successful recovery of the giraffe.
