EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we are transported back to November 1923 at the London Zoo. The image showcases a heartwarming moment between Percy, a young Pygmy Hippopotamus, and his caretaker. Percy, with his endearing eyes and adorable snout, is being hand-fed by a gentle human hand. The bond between them is evident as they connect in this intimate act of trust and care. It's fascinating to witness the close relationship that can develop between humans and animals. The London Zoo provides a safe haven for these magnificent creatures, allowing visitors to marvel at their beauty while also raising awareness about conservation efforts. Percy represents not only the wonders of wildlife but also the importance of preserving their natural habitats. Photographer Frederick William Bond captures this enchanting moment with skillful precision. His expertise in capturing animal behavior shines through in every detail - from Percy's delicate features to the subtle expressions on both faces. This photograph serves as a reminder of our responsibility towards nature and its inhabitants. It urges us to appreciate the diverse array of species that share our planet while inspiring us to take action in protecting them for future generations. As we gaze upon this timeless image, we cannot help but feel an overwhelming sense of awe for both Percy and all those who work tirelessly behind-the-scenes at zoos around the world – dedicated individuals committed to ensuring these incredible creatures thrive amidst an ever-changing world.
