EDITORS COMMENTS
In the scorching heat of a Serbian summer, a compassionate zookeeper takes action to provide relief for one of nature's most magnificent creatures. In this photograph captured by Ivan Milutinovic, we witness a close-up moment at Belgrade's zoo where an intense heatwave has gripped the city. As temperatures soar to a staggering 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit), the well-being of animals becomes paramount. With expertise and care, the dedicated zookeeper sprays cool water onto a majestic hippopotamus submerged in its watery habitat. The image showcases both the sheer power and vulnerability of this wild animal as it gracefully endures Serbia's sweltering weather conditions. The creative use of depth-of-field highlights every detail - from the open mouth of the hippopotamus to droplets suspended mid-air. Nature's beauty is evident in this snapshot; even though out-of-focus elements suggest movement, there is stillness and tranquility within this scene. This photograph serves as a reminder that our environment plays an essential role in shaping lives beyond our own species. It invites us to appreciate not only the resilience but also the fragility of wildlife amidst challenging circumstances. Through acts like these, we can find harmony between humans and animals while ensuring their safety and comfort during extreme weather events
