Turns out even giraffes have a tooth fairy - although this one looked suspiciously like a Denver Zoo zookeeper.

Dobby didn't get any money -- instead his "green" was lettuce with a side of carrots.

His adult teeth are already coming in. And it won't be long until he turns three - Dobby was born Feb. 28, 2017.

"Another step on the road to adulthood!" zoo officials wrote on Facebook.
