Keeping a giraffe’s hooves in tip-top shape is a tall order, but our keepers (and our giraffes) are up to the task! 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.

#WorldGiraffeDay— Here’s an inside look into hoof trimming with our giraffes! In the wild, giraffe hooves typically wear down on their own due to the long distances and different types of terrain they cover. Since they don't need to do as much traveling when they live in human care, their hooves don't wear naturally and they need some help from us! 🦒 | Elmwood Park Zoo

Spa day with Niklas! ✨🦒✨ Check out his beautifully pedicured hooves! ——— We do hoof trims approximately every 6 weeks for our giraffes. Their hooves can naturally become overgrown or misshapen based on how the individual holds their weight while walking or standing! Similar to hoof care for horses, it doesn’t hurt the giraffe. It’s like us humans getting a toenail trim! Different training and behaviors are on display during a trimming session. All training uses positive reinforcement. First, a
