October 1 is World Vegetarian Day, the beginning of a month of awareness on eating more veggies. Some of the most ample mammals, like hippos, are big plant-eaters, or herbivores, and like a good salad to celebrate any occasion.

An historic shot from our WCS Photo Collection shows Peter, a hippo that lived at the Bronx Zoo in the middle of the last century, as he takes the “cake,” made from garden vegetables.
