@thebronxzoo: Enjoy this #MomentOfZoo featuring Senior Keeper Joe as he trims our giraffe’s hooves in the Carter Giraffe Building. Training a behavior like this takes a tremendous amount of patience and relationship building over the course of several years. Like human fingernails, the outer part of a hoof, called the hoof wall, is made of keratin. So, just like our nails, hooves benefit from regular cleaning and trimming. #giraffes #bronxzoo
"So what did you do at work today?"
"I held a bucket of giraffe snacks on my head to distract a giraffe while my coworker gave the giraffe a mani-pedi."
