Safari: Part IV - Hamira the Hippo

|

This part of the safari was quite interesting. Our entrance was received ‘official salutation’ by rows of pine trees before we were ushered by a friendly Safari staff to a big pool. Minutes later, he made a high pitch sounds with his mouth and shouted, “Hamira, ta’ala….”
We were curious and waited excitingly to see the result. Seconds after hearing her names being called, Hamira appeared from the right side of the pool towards us. The 20 years old hippo Hamira came near to our platform and opened her mouth wide expecting us to feed her with her favorite’s vegetable. She needs to brush her teeth regularly though.
Muhammad Asri had a chance to serve her favorite food and unfortunately, he was not able to open his mouth like what Hamira did. Few minutes later, Hamira sister joined us at the platform. Towards the end, the staff feed them both with 1 litre of black honey as their dessert!
