Dobby, who initially struggled with health problems, now weighs a healthy 264 pounds, five of which were gained in less than a week, and stands nearly seven-feet-tall.
Giraffe conservation is important, the zoo points out in their video, because their populations have declined by 40 percent in the last three decades alone.
