After working with exotic animals in Dubai, Diogo Jota could want to pursue a career as a zookeeper after retiring from sports.

However, as the highly productive striker learned during the winter break, Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker would not be pleased with him if he did.

Jota had an up-close and personal encounter with the exotic creatures at Rashed Belhasa, a luxurious zoo in Dubai.

Jota wrapped a large serpent around his neck, risking everything.

The monkeys in the zoo were quite fond of Jota.

While many players used their time off to unwind, Jota decided to honor his vacation by going to Rashed Belhasa’s private zoo in Dubai.

Belhasa, also known as Money Kicks, is well-known among football players for his unusual animal collection.

Jota smiled as he posed for pictures next to a huge bear and sported a giant snake around his neck.

The 25-year-old celebrity saw a swarm of monkeys, fed a giraffe, and engaged with a young crocodile while in the Dubai locale.

However, when Jota posted about his incredible experience with the animals on Instagram, Alisson couldn’t resist making fun of the Portuguese foreigner.

The Reds’ goalie answered the message by making fun of the fictional character “Dr. Dolittle,” who can communicate with animals.

Jota is just one of many famous visitors to the zoo; Reece James and Mason Mount, two colleagues from Chelsea, also made use of Belhasa’s hospitality last year.

Players like Paul Pogba, Luka Modric, David Luiz, and Lionel Messi have all been there before in the interim.

Jota will be excited to go back on the field for the season’s last game, even though it looks like he had a great holiday.

Jota fed the animals slowly and deliberately.

Liverpool’s forward grinned while clutching a tiny crocodile in his arms.
