Keepers worked for weeks building a “giraffe” from recycled boxes that encouraged Yuri to use his impressive claws, strong jaw muscles and other natural behaviors to retrieve the tasty rack of ribs hidden inside. Go, Yuri, go! Video Credit: Keeper Kim P. and Sophie G. | Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance | Facebook
