EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the 1970s, witnessing a bittersweet moment in the life of Hercules, a magnificent hippopotamus. The image captures Hercules taking his final dip in the refreshing waters of his pool at Belle Vue before embarking on a new chapter at Cleethorpes Zoo on December 14th, 1978. As our eyes meet with this powerful creature, we cannot help but be mesmerized by his sheer size and grace. With jaws wide open and water cascading around him, Hercules exudes an air of tranquility mixed with anticipation for what lies ahead. His wrinkled skin glistens under the sunlight as he embraces one last moment of serenity in familiar surroundings. The photograph not only showcases the beauty of nature's creations but also serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect and preserve these majestic animals. It transports us to an era when zoos played a significant role in conservation efforts while providing educational experiences for visitors. Through this poignant snapshot frozen in time by Memory Lane Prints' talented staff, we are invited to reflect upon the importance of cherishing wildlife habitats and ensuring their well-being. Let us remember Hercules' journey as he bids farewell to Belle Vue's tranquil oasis - may it serve as inspiration for future generations to continue safeguarding these incredible creatures that share our planet.
