Zebra puts head in hippo mouth
斑马帮河马清牙齿(图)

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.

据英国《每日邮报》11日报道，摄影师在瑞士苏黎世动物园拍摄到惊险一幕，一匹斑马竟将头伸进河马嘴里(见图)。但是，斑马似乎完全没有意识到危险。在看似离死亡只有一步之遥时，斑马毫发无损的逃脱了。事后，动物园游客们才明白，斑马是在帮河马清理牙齿。
