In honor of National Hoof Care Month, we’re sharing 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. It’s very similar to the work farriers do

Giraffe training with keeper Meg and Rothschild giraffe, Rudi. 🥰 This is the first time Meg has carried out hoof care training solo - and she is smashing it! 👏 🦒 Sarah and Jamie were Megs glamorous assistants 😉 - it’s important for the giraffes to get used to different people within the enclosure so they remain calm during routine veterinary exams and to be prepared for the farriers routine visit this month. #giraffetraining #zookeepers #zoolife #hooftraining #hoofcare #zoolife #zoo #trainin

We wanted to share this super cool behind-the-scenes training time with Hadassah! Positive reinforcement target training is an important step in working with animals (even domestic animals!). It’s a stepping stone to help zoo keepers perform wellness checks, hoof care, exams, and so much more. Using positive reinforcement means the training is always enjoyable and reward-based, and training gives animals the opportunity to engage in their own care and builds a trusting relationship with caretake

Training Day! The giraffe crew is giving Kimba positive- reinforcement training on raising his feet onto the box. This exercise will enable the crew and park vet to do proper cleaning of the hooves and also to permit the vet to check the hooves and trim them when needed. Our giraffe staff have also been engaging Bakari, Tucker, and Kimba with enrichment exercises to create their own unique artwork for all their fans! 100% of the sale of artwork goes to The World Giraffe Fund to help the conserva

We are back with more giraffe hoof care content, after the huge response to Oliver's hoof training & trim video on Monday! This time, we are at The Preserve Safari, across from Animal Adventure Park - home to Tajiri! Yes, "little" Taj is now a big bull too - and has advanced remarkably in his training also! While hoof trimming allows us to maintain proper pressure/position for the body (muscles, tendons & joints), veterinarians also need to see INSIDE, to best understand! Video is of Dr. Lacovar

Training is an important aspect in zoos. Training allows zookeepers to shift animals from one location to another, perform checkups, and administer medications with a minimal amount of stress to an animal. Training is the only way you are able to care for an animal weighing between 1500 and 2000 lbs. safely and reliably. Juani has been trained to present his hooves so that zookeepers can monitor the condition of the hooves and to administer any care should a problem arise. The whistle you hear i

Happy World Giraffe Day! Taking care of the giraffes at the Cincinnati Zoo includes feeding, cleaning, enrichment, training and health care! Come along as keepers Melina and Teresa show you a training session with Tessa the giraffe! Hundreds of hours and thousands of crackers went into teaching the giraffes to participate in their own health care. The ability to perform maintenance with the animal’s cooperation allows the team to do regular checkups without the risks associated with anesthesia.

🦒 GIRAFFE KEEPER Q&A 🦒 Q: What is the best thing about your job? Asked by @lorraineduvall A: One of my favorite parts of being a zookeeper is getting to train the animals. It helps us to make connections with them and to improve their overall care. Each of our giraffe are trained almost daily and knows many behaviors.

Did you know that our giraffes receive hoof trims as part of their care? In this video, Senior Keeper Joe demonstrates the process with our giraffe, Indiketta, with an assist from Keeper Seville. It’s very similar to the work farriers do with horses. According to Joe, the amount of time it takes to train this behavior can vary depending on a giraffe’s personality. For some, this can take months, for others it may take several years! Additionally, some giraffes prefer to train by themselves, whil
