Mammoth Manicure For Brookfield Zoo Rhino
Brook, a 12-year-old black rhinoceros at Brookfield Zoo in Illinois, developed large toenail cracks. Vets used a horseshoe-like technique to repair them during a half hour procedure, monitoring Brook’s heart and breathing and drawing blood for potential future tests. Brook arrived at the zoo in 1973 and remains relatively young for the species. The county record holder was Mary at Brookfield Zoo, who died last year at 47.
