At Jessica the hippo, Hoedspruit, South Africa.
Jessica, her partner and son are raised by humans but are not kept in captivity. They are free to go where ever they want, they come back every time by choice. When visiting you can feed them and learn about their story.

gets ripped to pieces
“Dude I was being sarcastic. Fucking tourists. WILMAAA! I GOT ANOTHER ONE! hehehe”
Interesting stripe on her head, what’s that about?

I believe it’s a shadow. Look where the stripe meets the dock, and you can see it continues
Its the shadow from the railing?
