A curious giraffe poked its head through a window to take a closer look while a DJ was scratching records.

Vagif Rasulov – otherwise known as DJ Shock – was enjoying breakfast at Abu Dhabi Emirates Zoo on April 26 when he decided to perform an impromptu set.

Adorable footage shows the moment one of the long-necked animals pushed its head through the window as the 25-year veteran DJ scratched the records.

During a 15 minute set, a few of the animals leaned in towards DJ Shock and stared at his hands and listening closely to the music he was making.

DJ Shock said: “That was an unforgettable experience. It was my first time, but definitely won’t be the last one. I plan to visit them again and DJ for them every time.

“I like giraffes so much and I was looking for a place to interact with them, and when I found out about Emirates Zoo that offers an opportunity to have breakfast with giraffes, I came up with the idea to DJ for them.

“One of the oldest giraffes came to check me out. He was definitely interested and stayed until the end, following my hand movements with his eyes.

“Then two other younger giraffes came to see what's going on, poking their heads from other windows.

“It seemed that they were enjoying listening to the sounds of scratching so much. Maybe because there are many scratches that sound similar to the sounds of nature and mainly birds.”
