They say some bonds last a lifetime. This one ended on the same day.

In Skopje, North Macedonia, a zookeeper named Riste Trajkovski died at 44. He had cared for giraffes for 12 years. His favorite was Floppy.

Hours later, Floppy died too.

Staff tried to save her. Vets worked and watched. The news spread fast through the city.

People remembered Riste’s kindness. They remembered how Floppy leaned in for head scratches. How calm she was with him.

Two lives, linked by daily care and trust, gone the same day. It feels like grief found a way to show itself without words.

Maybe it’s a coincidence. Maybe it’s something we can’t measure. What we do know is simple. Love leaves a mark, on people and on animals, and sometimes you can see it.#elf #cameroon
