A VERY ANIMATED NEW

I don't know how it was, but a few months ago, searching information for my research project (maybe I was searching some characteristic about one of those animals: hipo and zebra) I found a new which cought my attention, have a look at it please, it's so funny! It's a BBC new (march of 2010), you can click here to read the original new.

A zebra at Zurich Zoo appeared to be staring into the jaws of death when visitors saw it nose to nose with an open-mouthed hippopotamus.

But the hippo had no intention of having the zebra for lunch - it was having its teeth cleaned.
The extraordinary sight was captured by photographer Jill Sonsteby, from Jacksonville, Florida.

She said the teeth-cleaning session lasted 15 minutes and the zebra came to no harm.

"The zebra was in the same enclosure as the hippo and its baby," said Ms Sonsteby, 34.
"The hippo opened its mouth and let the zebra in there to clean, Everybody was snapping pictures. It was so great to be there at that moment."

Comment:

That new tells that a Zebra in a Zurich zoo put her head on a hippo’s mouth. Everybody that saw it though that the hippopotamus was hungry and wanted to eat the zebra’s head, but fifteen minutes later, the zoo’s stuff saw that the hippo just wanted to clean her teeth, and the zebra helped him.

In this moment everybody who was there, was taking photos, because it’s an impacting thing to see.

The new says that the hippo is one of the most aggressive creatures of the world and her teeth can cut a small boat in half!

Also they are the creatures who can weigh up three tonnes.

I think that it’s an incredible thing because, all the people who see something like that, the first thing that they think is that the hippo is going to kill the zebra eating her head, but not, the hippo just wanted to clean his teeth!

What I think that is the most strange is:

How the zebra knew that the hippo wanted to clean his teeth?

I don’t know it, and nobody knows it; maybe they can “talk” and understand themselves, but only they know how it was.
