... that Henk Zwartepoorte quacked at caimans? Source: Toen de eerste twee kaaimannetjes aan het uitkomen waren, begonnen ze afwachtend te kwaken. Kunnen we? Verzorger Henk keek eens goed rond - nee, geen roofdieren in de buurt die graag verse krokodilletjes ophappen. En hij kwaakte dus terug. Het was een grappig gezicht. De dwergkaaimannetjes zag je echt reageren. Als ze Henk hoorden, kwamen ze meteen weer in beweging, en zo schudden ze het ei van zich af.

Pictures

First, this article should have a least one picture of its subject. Given that he lived in Europe until 2016, one imagines there are many photos of him out there somewhere. Second, as this is the English-language Wikipedia, the plaque that is the only picture in the article should have an English translation of the Dutch text.

There are surely pictures of Henk Zwartepoorte to be found, unfortunately I did not manage to find one without copyright restrictions. In response to your second point, I have added a translation of the Dutch text on the placque to the article. Crispulop (talk) 11:13, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
