Zebra puts head in hippo mouth
斑馬幫河馬清牙齒(圖)

An extraordinary spectacle was captured by a photographer at the Zurich Zoo in Switzerland when a zebra leaned into the gaping mouth of a hippopotamus (see photo), the Daily Mail reported Thursday. The zebra seems unaware of his precarious position. Despite appearing to be just seconds away from imminent death, the striped creature escaped unharmed. Much to the surprise of zoo visitors, the animal was merely cleaning the hippo's teeth.

據英國《每日郵報》11日報道，攝影師在瑞士蘇黎世動物園拍攝到驚險一幕，一匹斑馬竟將頭伸進河馬嘴里(見圖)。但是，斑馬似乎完全沒有意識到危險。在看似離死亡只有一步之遙時，斑馬毫發無損的逃脫了。事后，動物園游客們才明白，斑馬是在幫河馬清理牙齒。
