Open Animals Day

– Why a baby crocodile and not a crocodile? – dad asked. – He is OK? And what is this name – Kesul? He's not a goat, but a crocodile?

– The crocodile is all right, it's just still young. And Kesul in translation from Arabic means lazy, – answered the administrator.

– And all the hardworking crocodiles were dismantled? – dad asked.

– Do you want a hardworking one? – the administrator was wary. – I wonder what kind of work you are going to use it for?

–None, – dad replied. – We need him for a walk.

– Lazy is just right for a walk, – said the administrator.

– Okay! – agreed dad. – Lead!

– Vasya! Lead Kesul! – said the administrator and put down the phone.

– Crocodile menu, please! – asked the dad.

The administrator got into his folder, rummaged in it, took out the necessary sheet and handed it to dad.

– Okay, – Dad said, glancing at the menu. – Fish – four hundred grams, beef – three hundred grams. It suits us!

– In the wild, the Nile crocodile eats fish, as well as animals that come to the watering hole, – explained the administrator. – For example, zebras, buffaloes, giraffes, rhinos and even hippos.

– But the hippopotamus does not weigh three hundred grams? – dad was frightened.

– Of course, – the administrator agreed. – An adult hippo weighs up to four tons.

– Four thousand kilograms of meat? – dad was surprised. – Your Kesul's dinner will probably be more expensive than Terimerisund's!

– It’s not so, – the administrator reassured him. – First, crocodiles eat hippos in the wild. Secondly, they hunt the hippo in packs, therefore they then divide it among all. Thirdly, after that there is a week, or even two – the food is digested. And we feed them here little by little, but every day. I gave you the menu!
