To my surprise I found the same story in the left wing "Der Spiegel" of all places.
Wintereinbruch in Südafrika Giraffen im Schnee
In Südafrika hat ein ungewöhnlich heftiger Wintereinbruch Giraffen und Elefanten überrascht. Auf Bildern wirken die Wildtiere wie Fremdkörper.
You beat me to it because I was scanning the internet & cable channels to see who else reported it. As usual the same media which hyped heat waves ignored it. Like the BBC, their top news were:
Furor at racist Serena Williams cartoon, Woman shoots husband dead in front of kids etc
They will report it only after their spin doctors found some global warming experts who are going to point out that this is yet more proof of AGW. That`s easy after global warming was renamed to "climate change" , using cold weather events as further "proof" that we are causing extreme weather events.
