Keeper: Open up!
Hasik: Kay
WIDE OPEN
Are all Hippos this well behaved?
Kim Joo-Kyung, Keeper: People think that hippos are scary and vicious but,
Hasik is a fella who likes people and who wants to get attention
Exemplary hippo, ‘Hasik’
I'm done eating
Shall we start?
Kim Joo-Kyung, Keeper: Hasik, let’s brush your teeth!
Kim Joo-Kyung, Keeper: Open up!
Full of plaques..
Kim Joo-Kyung, Keeper: The fella is a hippo, so we’re having a thorough look at the mouth
Kim Joo-Kyung, Keeper: Humanly speaking, we clean up the teeth by brushing it
The most important in hippo’s health,
dental care begins!
Water scaling haha
Scaling plaque (It’s so satisfying..)
Brush brush!
Finish touch with Hippo-customized toothbrush
Hasik: Thank you
Mouth is as good as new
The dental care is over thanks to the perfect teamwork
between the keeper and Hasik
She brushes Hasik’s teeth herself everyday
For Kim Joo-Kyung Keeper, Hasik means a lot
Kim Joo-Kyung, Keeper: I used to work where Hasik lived
Kim Joo-Kyung, Keeper: I’ve been seeing Hasik since 2019
3 years ago, the keeper met Hasik
and kept his company like besties
One day,
Hasik’s transfer was decided
and they had to be separated
Kim Joo-Kyung, Keeper: Hasik is the biggest reason why I came here
I was pretty attached to Hasik from before
I was worried if he’d adapt well. After consideration, I made the decision
Out of concern for Hasik, the keeper decided relocation
After that, their relationship is getting more intimate
Kim Joo-Kyung, Keeper: It can be scary, but the fella has its cute side
Very subtle, unintentional cuteness.
The fella knows the virtue of slowness
Lovey Dovey
Feeling gewd teehee
The next day, fish have arrived
Q. What are the fish for?
Kim Joo-Kyung, Keeper: They are cichlid that cohabits with hippos
I added them in so that they can clean up Hasik’s
dead skins, parasites and plaques more smoothly
Again, for Hasik hahaha
As cichilids are released
Hasik DIVES
Hasik: Run, run
The fish go right at him
Five-stars rated dead skin restaurant
Fish: The hippo knows how to cook dead skin
Hasik: It’s so refreshing!
That’s ma keeper
Thanks to the keeper who cares for Haisk, Hasik had a great day today!
