EDITORS COMMENTS
Peter, the alligator, defies expectations as he revels in cuddles! This heartwarming photo captures the unlikely bond between Peter, a six-year-old alligator from London Zoo, and his devoted keeper A. Wilson of the reptile house. Despite his fearsome appearance and razor-sharp teeth, Peter finds solace and contentment when cradled in Wilson's arms. The image showcases their unique relationship as Peter chuckles with delight while nestled against Wilson's shoulder. Taken on 27th January 1937, this photograph encapsulates the charm of a bygone era between the wars. In an age where humor was cherished amidst adversity, this snapshot serves as a reminder that even creatures known for their ferocity can possess a softer side. The monochrome aesthetic adds to the timeless quality of this picture; it transports us back to the thirties when life was simpler yet filled with unexpected moments of joy. Preserved by TopFoto. co. uk, this image is part of Europeana photography collection. Animal lovers will find themselves captivated by this delightful scene - an enchanting testament to human-animal connection that transcends boundaries. As we witness Peter's affectionate nature unfold before our eyes, we are reminded that sometimes even those with sharp teeth can crave tenderness.
