'A Tall Order': Oakland Zoo Gives Giraffe a Pedicure
Zookeepers at the Oakland Zoo in California fulfilled a “tall order” when they gave a resident giraffe a pedicure, footage posted on September 24 shows.
“Giving a giraffe a pedicure is a tall order! Zoo Hoofstock Trim Program visited Oakland Zoo and shared valuable information that will help our giraffe, zebras, and goats remain comfortable and healthy throughout their lives,” a tweet from the zoo said.
The video shows one member of the pedicure team atop a ladder to rub the giraffe’s head, while others worked below on pampering its legs and hooves. Credit: Oakland Zoo via Storyful
