Situated in the park of Villa Borghese is the Bioparco, one of the oldest zoos in the world home to more than a thousand animals from the world of mammals, reptiles and birds. The Bioparco di Roma offers important educational and cultural facilities for children of all ages, protecting endangered species through research and reproduction programs and promoting cultural awareness with conferences and special events.
You can find many animals at the Rome Zoo including lions, tigers, panthers, elephants, giraffes, bears with their own pool, and many more besides.
When it was built in 1911, everyone considered it one of the most magical places in Rome. The Zoo was reorganized in 1998 for adapting the original areas and artistic content to modern facilities and the new concept of a Bio-park.

is it because of the angle this picture was shot, or does that giraffe needs to have some work done on it front hoofs?

Bjorn,
I can't tell from the angle, but I am sure they will have it's pen redone soon enough, on the scale of the others with a suitable substrate.
