the Elephant House

I'm applying to be a "large mammal interpreter"—a volunteer who hangs around the Elephant House and answers questions about the animals. So I decided to do a little prep work before filling out my application . . .

When the hippo eats, it stands still as a statue except for its jaws (click to see better in the larger version).

Kandula, the baby elephant, and I share a birthday.
