EDITORS COMMENTS
Ben the Hippo celebrates his 14th birthday in style at Chessington Zoo! The zoo's chief-cum-chef, Peter Short, and dedicated keeper Phil Lowe spared no effort to make this day extra special for their beloved resident. As a grand surprise, they presented Ben with a magnificent cake made from wholesome ingredients like bran, fruit, and egg-white. The sheer excitement on Ben's face is evident as he gazes at the towering 60lb cake before him. With anticipation building up, it takes only a moment for his insatiable appetite to take over. In one swift motion, Ben devours the entire cake without hesitation or restraint. This heartwarming snapshot captures not just an extraordinary birthday celebration but also showcases the bond between humans and animals. It is a testament to the dedication of those who care for these incredible creatures and strive to provide them with joyous moments amidst their captive lives. Ben's voracious appetite may be seen as gluttony by some, but in this instance, it serves as a reminder of our responsibility towards these majestic beings. Let us cherish such moments that bring happiness into their lives while also reflecting on how we can contribute to their well-being.
