Grandpa Didn't Like Cats Until He Met This One | Cuddle Buddies

Wherever this woman goes, a baby giraffe is right behind her. And then she gets so excited, she'll zoom and hop around. Every time Josephine watches Zuri, she feels so proud. Because a year ago, they weren't sure if she'd ever walk. She's grown a lot, Poki. Zuri was born on a game reserve when Hein and Dr. Cho first met her. And then the team realized that Zuri's hooves were bent. For a baby giraffe, that's bad news. How will she take care of herself? In that moment, the team decided they'd do everything possible to help Zuri. But the hardest part was figuring out what to do about her legs. They'd never seen a giraffe with hooves like this. So they came up with an idea to use special splints on her legs. New boots. And they'd be right next to her while she learned how to stand. But the best moment was watching her walk for the first time. You are working them. Next thing they knew, she was running around without splints. And making friends with all the other animals. The minute they saw her acting like a normal giraffe, they knew it was time to let her go. It's been one whole year of looking after Zuri. So they spend less time with her now so she can rely on them less. Of course, the team will miss her. They spent so much time together. They hope she'll forget all about them and make the most of her second chance. If you are rescuing or thinking of adopting an exotic animal, please make sure to contact professionals and do your research so that they can have the best life possible.
