00:00 Welcome to the first animation of the day,
00:02 the animation of...
00:04 You are all awake, just as well as me, thank you.
00:09 This morning, new player on Sector 3,
00:16 accompanied by the intern Carla.
00:18 I'm going to give her a little surprise,
00:20 she's not necessarily aware of it.
00:22 But I'm thinking that since we've been together for several days on the Sector,
00:26 I'm going to start her training in hippopotamus animation.
00:29 Basically, hippopotamus animation is not complicated,
00:32 it's a soundtrack, you just have to explain to people what's going to happen before the soundtrack.
00:36 I like to arrive a little bit earlier.
00:38 So I brief her a little bit, telling her how it's going to happen,
00:41 it's very short, I just tell her that we're going to meet in front of people,
00:44 that we're going to explain the little instructions,
00:46 that we're going to distribute the carrots,
00:48 and then at the end we'll answer their questions, if they ever have any.
00:51 Nothing complicated, but it's nice, it's the first of the day.
00:55 I've never seen this hippopotamus animation,
00:57 even as a visitor, so it's going to be a nice moment.
01:00 She's going to explain to me that today and tomorrow I'm going to be an "assistant",
01:04 and that in a couple of days I might be able to do it myself.
01:09 It's a great surprise that I take with great pleasure and with a smile,
01:12 because it's really cool, I'm privileged I think.
01:15 Is there a lot of people usually?
01:18 It depends on the time.
01:21 For this animation, I like to arrive five minutes before the soundtrack,
01:25 so I know that I have a little time to talk to them.
01:28 It's the first of the day, they are more or less awake depending on the day,
01:32 so I can already start talking to them about our animals.
01:37 Ladies and gentlemen, hello everyone,
01:39 welcome to the first animation of the day, the animation of...
01:43 You are all awake, just as well as me, thank you.
01:48 So the hippopotamuses, are there three in the pool?
01:52 In our job, animations are something important,
01:56 because it's a moment when we are in contact with the visitor,
01:59 and that's where they spontaneously come.
02:01 So it's a moment where we can send them messages
02:05 that are very important for us, the caregivers.
02:08 There are also signs on some NGOs with which we will work,
02:12 so it's important for us, the conservation, the preservation of species in their environment,
02:16 it's just as important as taking care of our animals, here at La Flèche.
02:19 Listening to Paul, I learn a lot of things, everything he says at the beginning is important.
02:22 So yeah, I listen to what he says and I try to record as much information as possible,
02:26 and little things he can say to his visitors.
02:30 They will certainly open their mouths wide,
02:33 it's like basketball, we try to aim right,
02:36 if it ever falls to the side, it doesn't matter,
02:38 they will spend the whole day in the water, to smoke the bottom a little.
02:40 During my two or three minutes of speech, I don't pay too much attention to Carla,
02:44 and even if she hasn't recorded it, she's already seeing a first attempt
02:50 at what we can potentially say to the players.
02:53 Is it good for everyone?
02:55 As well as well-woken?
02:57 Thank you.
02:58 Well, I wish you all a good animation
03:00 and have a good day for those I won't see again at the end.
03:03 You can come to me for the karate.
03:05 Thank you.
03:08 Thank you.
03:09 So, ladies and gentlemen, for the last carrots, go ahead.
03:17 It's going to be good, do you have any questions?
03:22 To answer the questions after the animation,
03:24 you still need good foundations on the hippopotamus.
03:27 When they come out, they don't have to come out of the water with their heads.
03:30 You have the nostrils, the eyes and the ears on the same line,
03:32 so they can come out of the head as little as possible,
03:34 just to breathe and hear at the same time.
03:36 So that way they can breathe, see if there are predators,
03:39 see where the little ones are and hear if there are other hippos
03:42 communicating with them.
03:44 Carla listens to the answers I give to people
03:46 when they ask me questions that are basic.
03:48 These are questions we have every day,
03:50 they're pretty much the same.
03:52 So that's when I tell her to be a little more attentive,
03:55 because the speech before is good,
03:57 but it's especially at that moment, the hippopotamus that interests us.
04:00 And their main predator?
04:02 The man.
04:03 I record a lot of information about hippos.
04:06 I don't have any apprehension of the public or anything,
04:09 I just don't want to say stupid things.
04:11 - Thank you. - You're welcome.
04:12 Have a good day, enjoy it.
04:14 - Goodbye. - Have a good day.
04:16 I tell myself that I have to stay zen,
04:19 but I can't wait to be able to do it
04:21 and I can't wait to, once again,
04:24 to take a little piece of the healing profession.
04:26 To be able to push them.
04:28 - To be able to push them? - Yes.
