EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph from the early 1930s, a little girl assists a zoo keeper as they perform a dental check on a hippopotamus. The scene unfolds at a time when the world was captivated by the wonders of the animal kingdom, and the opportunity to be up close and personal with such a magnificent creature was a rare and cherished experience. The image captures the moment of connection between the girl, the keeper, and the hippopotamus, as they work together to ensure the animal's health and wellbeing. The keeper, dressed in a simple uniform, leans over the hippo's massive head, his expression focused and serious as he examines the animal's teeth. The little girl, dressed in a white blouse and skirt, stands beside him, her eyes wide with excitement and wonder. She reaches out to touch the hippo's rough skin, her small hand dwarfed by the size of the animal. The hippopotamus, a gentle giant, seems to understand the importance of the moment, allowing the keeper and the girl to perform their task without resistance. His eyes are closed, and his mouth slightly open, revealing the rows of powerful teeth that are so characteristic of his species. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, when people and animals lived in closer proximity, and the simple joy of learning about the natural world was a source of endless fascination. It is a reminder of the importance of conservation and the role that zoos play in preserving and protecting endangered species, while also providing opportunities for education and inspiration.
