Joshua, is it metaphorically significant that he's eating a big orange thing?

I once helped feed a hippo at a South African wildlife reserve, pouring oats type stuff off the back of a bakkie (pickup) straight into her mouth. Looking into that maw was *terrifying*. I'm pretty sure she could've swallowed me whole.

I think they like to chomp chomp first though!

I used to work at the Detroit Zoo. My job mainly consisted of driving around the zoo in a golf cart. Pretty good gig.

You don’t get to 500 annual (human) deaths a year with dainty chompers! Those are man-crushers, baby!
