Probably never before has there been a detailed video like this on the subject, because we really walk from foot to foot with Vanessa Hagedorn and she explains to us directly what she pays attention to, as well as how health and animal welfare are guaranteed as a result. All of this is somewhat comparable to a human pedicure - that's probably why Sweni is so relaxed. » How much do Sweni, Tsavo, and their friends weigh? Here is the answer:    • Zoo Wuppertal: ELEFANTEN wiegen 🐘 | zoos.m...   You can also see very well in the video that no force is needed to care for the elephant's feet. Sweni knows exactly what is happening, her son is with her, too, and for her, it is more of a wellness or spa program than anything else. In nature, elephants are forced to cover long distances, which causes their nails to rub off. If this compulsion from nature ceases in human care, so you have to watch out for the nails of the animals. At the same time, you can also pay attention to the health of their nails - a luxury that elephants do not have in nature. So, we gradually see how Sweni is worked with and also how long an elephant pedicure takes - this video gives a good impression of that. You also notice that it is also strenuous physical work for people. At the same time, however, it also requires the precision of the animal keepers, who have to work precisely in order to be able to achieve their goals. So, really becoming a pro at this requires precise guidance and also experience. ·················································································· ZOOS.MEDIA ► Homepage: http://zoos.media/ ► Never miss another episode: https://www.youtube.com/zoosmedia?sub... ► Something new every day:   / zoosmedia   ·················································································· ZOOS.LOCATION ► Website: https://www.wuppertal.de/microsite/zo... ► Conservation: https://www.wuppertal.de/microsite/zo... ► Our playlist:    • Der Grüne Zoo Wuppertal | zoos.media   ·················································································· ZOOS.FRIENDS ►   / dolphinariatruth-729987117081529   ► https://www.zootier-lexikon.org/ ► http://www.zoofoerderer.de/ ·················································································· IMPRESSUM ► http://zoos.media/impressum #wuppertalzoo #elephants #footcare #zoos #animals #pedicure #animalwelfare #health #wuppertal #zoosmatter
