Anna Marum -- The Oregonian/OregonLive
Beaverton Police said Saturday they are not looking for a baby giraffe despite reports one had escaped in a rural area.
A Craigslist entry posted just after midnight Saturday claimed that a giraffe had escaped from its owners on the south side of Cooper Mountain.
The "owners" said they suspected "Raffi" headed downhill towards vineyards, as he loves grapes.
"At this age, they are easily mistaken for a deer or even a llama, as nobody expects to see a giraffe in Beaverton," the Craigslist post said, encouraging anyone who saw him to call 9-1-1.
