Giraffes at Reid Park Zoo got to prance around in some light rain during one of Tucson's calmer monsoon storms.
In a Thursday Twitter post from Reid Park Zoo, the zoo's giraffe herd can be seen excitedly frolicking around the outdoor enclosures during some midday showers.
The giraffes are taken to their barn for safety during harsher storms that involve lightning, the Reid Park Zoo post mentioned.
