At the Saaremaa Zoo, a furry resident named Kalle has undergone a unique grooming session, shedding his winter coat with the help of an unusual tool: a rake. Kalle, a creature of particular habits, reportedly dislikes conventional combs. His keepers found a solution in a garden rake, which he readily accepts.

The zoo shared a delightful moment on social media, showcasing how Kalle's winter fur was finally removed. The grooming session was not only successful but also initiated by Kalle himself. He reportedly demanded the grooming in the morning and remained patient for a full hour.

We don't like regular combs for Kalle, but luckily he accepts a rake.
