Vets and nurses at ZSL Whipsnade zoo monitor Bashu, a 5-metre (16ft) reticulated giraffe. The animal is under general anaesthetic as specialist farriers perform a radical foot trim on his hooves and fit two custom-made shoes. Bashu will be monitored over the weekend as he recovers. The 13-year-old giraffe, who was being treated for intermittent lameness, could have deteriorated if left untreated and would have been unable to walk. The hay enclosure was created to ensure that Bashu did not injure himself falling over when going under the anaesthetic Photograph: David Levene/The Guardian
