In a unique approach to animal welfare, zookeepers in southwest China's Yunnan Province are providing Asian elephants with relaxing pedicures. This thoughtful care ensures that these majestic pachyderms maintain healthy soles and feet, crucial for their mobility and overall well-being.
Regular foot care helps prevent common issues such as infections and injuries, allowing the elephants to move freely and comfortably within their enclosures. By offering pedicures, the team not only addresses the physical health of the elephants but also contributes to their mental relaxation and happiness.
This innovative practice highlights the dedication of the Yunnan zoo staff to enhancing the lives of their animal residents through comprehensive and compassionate care.
