HEARTBREAKING: Terminally Ill Zoo Worker Receives Final Goodbye Kiss From Giraffe (PHOTO) 21.03.2014, 15:18 Health Share this story Twitter A touching scene has been witnessed at the Rotterdams Diergaarde Blijdorp Zoo. Photo: The Independent A maintenance worker who suffers from terminal cancer asked to be wheeled into a giraffes habitat so he could say his final goodbye to the animals. Mario, 54, was wheeled into the enclosure on his hospital bed. Within minutes, the giraffes approached him and began to nuzzle and kiss him. These animals recognised him, and felt that (things arent) going well with him, Kees Veldboer, the founder of the Ambulance Wish Foundation, said. (It was) a very special moment. You saw him beaming. Various studies have suggested animals can sense illness in humans, including diseases with no visible symptoms.
