As the photo shows, this West Caucasian tur nanny has overgrown front hooves and was clearly climbing quite gingerly on the rock face at the back of the enclosure. She was clearly in an uncomfortable situation.
My uncomfortable situation can be summarised in a number of questions. Should I take a photo? Should I publish it? Should I do anything else about it?
As you can see, my answer was 'Yes' to the first two questions. As I left the zoo yesterday I had a word with the lady on the Information desk; very politely, I said 'I'm not trying to be critical and I'm sure the keepers know about this already and are sorting the problem out, but . . . . "
Did I do the right thing? Has the problem been solved already? If not will it be sorted soon? I will be interested in any answers.
