Feeding Time! Photo

Photographer’s Note

A zoo keeper at the Singapore Zoo performs his daily routine of feeding the rhinos.

Since the feeding occurs at precisely the same time everyday, you can notice that the rhinos get excited when they sense that the time is near. They eagerly follow the zookeeper around even before the food is brought out.

At a first glance, I thought it was a joke because the two rhinos seem artificial (their skin is blank like stone). But it is not. Th zoo keeper is courageous because these are very dangerous animals.
