Mother to the Rescue: General the hippo bit off more than he could chew when his mate
Mother to the Rescue: General the hippo bit off more than he could chew when his mate Myra saw their son disappearing into his mouth at Chester Zoo on Wednesday 1st. October. Of course, Dad wasn t really trying to swallow one-day-old Casper - after all, hippos aren t carniverous beasties. But the three-ton Mum certainly wasn t happy about General trying to steal the show when Casper went on public display for the first time, and she put all her weight behind her protest, as big-mouthed Dad soon found out.

Mother to the Rescue: General the hippo bit off more than he could chew when his mate, Myra, saw their son disappearing into his mouth at Chester Zoo on Wednesday 1st October. Of course, Dad wasn't really trying to swallow one-day-old Casper - after all, hippos aren't carnivorous beasties. But the three-ton Mum certainly wasn't happy about General trying to steal the show when Casper went on public display for the first time, and she put all her weight behind her protest, as big-mouthed Dad soon found out. This print from October 1980 captures a dramatic moment in animal kingdom dynamics at its finest. The image showcases an intense confrontation between two majestic hippos amidst their natural habitat within Chester Zoo. It serves as a testament to a mother's unwavering love and protection for her young. The sheer size and power of these magnificent creatures are evident as they engage in this heated dispute over territorial boundaries. While it may seem like an aggressive encounter at first glance, it is important to note that hippos are herbivores by nature. This extraordinary snapshot transports us back in time to witness this remarkable event unfold before our eyes. It reminds us of the incredible diversity and beauty found within our wildlife sanctuaries while highlighting the importance of conservation efforts for these endangered species. Preserve this iconic piece of history with your own copy of 'Mother to the Rescue' from Memory Lane Prints – a timeless reminder of nature's wonders
