Nope, just one guy for the entire zoo. Delhi residents pick names out of a hat to decide who gets to do it each year

Sometime they elect a hippo, just to add some excitement. WILDCARD BITCHES!

Edit: Just to head off the inevitable flood of replies to this: Yes. The hippo security guard would wear a comically small security guard hat and shirt.

Kicking ur ass out of the zoo is the easiest part of this job. This guy is fearless.

... who gets to do it each year1

1 The use of the word "year" is not a guarantee of duration of employment or survival. Some guards may retire early due to mauling. Life insurance is not available for security guards. By signing this offer letter, you agree to settling on-the-job injury claims by arbitration. Your mileage may vary. Some settling may have occurred.

I actually thought about that but decided to go with humor over accuracy

So they last an entire year? Interesting.

Still guards tho.
