If you spot a large giraffe with round ears around the Texas Hill Country, please contact authorities and let them know you found Gracie, who was missing from her ranch.

Gracie the giraffe went missing in Real County, Texas, about a two-hour drive from San Antonio. According to the Real County Sheriff’s Office, authorities say she went missing from Cedar Hollow Ranch and was last seen on a game camera west of Leakey City.

Gracie’s owner is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to her safety, the sheriff’s office said.

Real County Sheriff Nathan Johnson told local news outlet KENS 5 that Gracie “found his way out of the high hunting fence.”

“This was my first time dealing with a missing giraffe, so I laughed when I got the call,” Johnson told the outlet.

Johnson said Gracie’s owner reported her missing on June 18. The owner hired a helicopter and is using a drone to try to track Gracie, the sheriff’s office told the agency. Officials said they were concerned that Gracie could be injured by other animals, such as coyotes, or fall from the rugged terrain.

Cedar Hollow Ranch manager Vic Jones told NBC News that Gracie is 3 or 4 years old and has been at the ranch since May.

“It seems like everyone in the world is looking for her,” Jones told NBC.

Anyone who sees Gracie is asked to contact the Sheriff’s Office at 830-232-5201.
