Zookeeper Feeding a Giraffe
A Day in the Life of a Zookeeper
Being a zookeeper is a tough job, but someone has to do it! From feeding the animals to cleaning their enclosures, zookeepers work hard to make sure the animals in their care are happy and healthy. One of the most important parts of a zookeeper's day is mealtime.
Giraffes: The Tallest of Them All
Giraffes are the tallest mammals on Earth, with some males reaching heights of over 18 feet! That's a lot of neck to feed, and zookeepers have to get creative when it comes to making sure these gentle giants get the nutrients they need.
A Special Bond
Zookeepers don't just feed the animals, they form strong bonds with them too. In this drawing, we see a zookeeper carefully feeding a giraffe, making sure it gets the food it needs. The giraffe looks happy and content, and the zookeeper is smiling too - it's clear they have a special connection.
