Elephas Maximus

Hippo left hind foot

Not a common sight.
This is the leg of 'terresrial', overweight hippo.
Note the cracks and abrasions on hooves & sole.
The animal almost never used the indoor pool, and outdoor pool was too shallow. So its body weight was constantly supported by feet in the periods of activity.
