Hippo 'swallowing' the keeper

That's what happens in free contact!
 
Actually, our Almaz had never hurt anyone.
He lived in a zoo for 35 years, transferred as a yearling calf. So he grew very tame and accustomed to keepers. Add to the fact of being probably a fattest hippo in Europe.
But, he did swallow pigeons that were coming to his food :)
 
I recall a story from Clinton Keeling who reported a hippo eating a wallaby I think at belvue zoo but I could be wrong. do you work at the zoo EM ? you get some very good shots if not
 
I work with some zoo animals in afterlife :) We'll have a dragon skeleton display soon.
All my pics are shot from visitor's viewpoint.
