Amazing story! It’s got to be tense doing an operation for the first time on something so huge.

“There was huge risks involved in giving the eyedrops because of the hippos huge mouth which could easily take your hand off,”

I’ve gotten to feed hippos once and patted one on the nose in her pen, but there are limits to even what I’d volunteer to do! 😅

It felt like the raptor pens from Jurassic Park with all the gates and heavy steel dividers to keep staff safe from those hippos.
