“I took this photo on a visit to London Zoo, just at the moment the pelicans were being
fed. Two zookeepers were stationed on either side of their pond and fed the pelicans
alternately. As a result, the three birds were obliged to run from one side to the other,
making them work for their dinner. In addition to giving the pelicans a bit of healthy
exercise, it meant that the keepers could ensure that the fish were distributed
equally and fairly, and all three pelicans got a decent meal.’i
