EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Peter Anderson from Universal Images Group (UIG), we are granted a rare glimpse into the world of the magnificent Hippopotamus amphibius. Captured in a zoo setting, a side view reveals one of these wild and enigmatic creatures indulging in an unexpected treat - pieces of bread. With its massive jaws wide open, the hippopotamus chews on each morsel with deliberate precision. The sheer power behind those even-toed hooves is evident as it effortlessly devours its meal. This image showcases not only the feeding habits of this artiodactyla species but also their ability to adapt to different environments, including captivity. The Hippopotamidae family is known for their semi-aquatic nature, spending most of their time submerged in water bodies. However, here we witness them outside their natural habitat, providing us with an intimate look at their behavior up close. Mammals like these hold a certain allure due to their immense size and unique characteristics. As we observe this particular hippopotamus chewing away contentedly, it serves as a reminder that despite being formidable creatures in the wild, they too have moments of vulnerability and relatability. Peter Anderson's skillful capture allows us to appreciate the beauty within these animals' daily lives while shedding light on our responsibility towards preserving such remarkable species for future generations to admire and learn from.
