ALAM ng mga bisita sa safari parks na batid ng mga hayop na ang mga sasakyan ay may mga taong sakay na may dalang pagkain. Ngunit nabatid ng isang turista kamakailan sa kanyang pagbisita sa safari park sa kanyang home country, Germany, minsan higit pa rito ang gusto ng mga hayop. Katulad ng pagpapakuha ng mga larawan.
Salaysay ni Malte Wöestefeld, 24-year-old business student, sa TODAY.com, naganap ang insidente habang binabagtas niya ang park kasama ng isang kaibigan.
“There was a big horde of zebras in the distance but this one particular zebra was standing on the side of the road. It looked like it was waiting for us,” aniya.
Isinara ni Wöestefeld ang bintana, bilang pagsunod sa regulasyon ng park, ngunit binuksan ito upang himasin ang isang hayop, na tumugon naman sa pamamagitan ng pagpasok ng kanyang ulo sa loob ng kotse.
“I was super-excited and It seemed like it felt comfortable and wanted me to pet it. I wasn’t scared at all; I was just blown away that this wild animal was so cuddly and putting his head next to my face,” aniya.
Dahil dati nang naging intern sa zoo noong siya ay 16-anyos pa lamang, batid ni Wöestefeld na hindi palaging “friendly” ang mga zebras, kaya nais na makunan ng larawan ang nasabing special moment.
“I realized this is a great chance to make an awesome memory and take a picture,” aniya. “It lay its head next to mine and smiled for the camera. As a reward, the zebra got a carrot that I had in my backpack from lunch.”
Bagama’t karamihan sa internet reaction ay positibo, sinabi ng iba na siya ay “idiot” sa pag-pose kasama ng wild animal.
“I have to admit that I didn’t think much about us being in a dangerous situation. I was just super-excited to make a new friend,” aniya. “I’m not encouraging people to do the same. I should have closed my window, but I could sense that everything was going to be okay.”
Ngunit naging positibo naman ang resulta ng sitwasyon sa dalawa.
“The zebra got a carrot, and I had a great day to talk about.” (TODAY.com)
