While Triton has lived at the Johannesburg Zoo his whole life, he didn’t discover his love for soccer until he was an adult.
He learned about soccer when a group of kids threw a soccer ball into his enclosure. The kids were part of a group that gives the zoo animals different objects to see what interests them. The kids gave Triton a few objects, but the only one he was interested in was the soccer ball.
Triton and the trainer who looks after him, Agnes Maluleke, understand each other very well. As soon as Triton sees Agnes pick up the soccer ball, he knows that a game is about to begin, and his tail starts wagging with excitement. He jumps all around his enclosure, eager to get the soccer ball into his paws. Once he has it, he can happily play for hours.
Playing soccer clearly makes Triton very happy, and he has some serious talent. If you want to see Triton’s soccer skills in action, check out the video below!
