Omo's First Watermelon Smash (Kind Of)
Vložit

- Four-month-old Nile hippo calf, Omo, is growing and learning every day. Although he's still nursing to get all of the nutrients he needs, he has started to explore solid foods. Because his parents, Zambezi and Biko, and his aunt, Kasai, love to smash watermelons, we couldn't resist seeing if Omo would be interested in this little melon, sized perfectly for our little hippo.

Seems sweet Omo prefers his watermelon pre smashed 💛
What Omo wants, Omo gets! :)
shaken, not stirred
I love how he opens his mouth to chase it away 😂 TOO CUTE 💕
That was my favorite part too! 😍
Yeah. "TOO CUTE" until you get into that mouth... You'll know why hippos are among the most dangerous animals on the planet.
Until you see one in the wild chasing you at 40mph
@@sirtito2705 Wild hippos* also idk why people say this like everyone doesn't already know... stop stating the obvious
@@samuraijack1371 Also, thank you Captain Obvious, no one asked.
Hard to believe such a tiny little cute thing like that can grow up to be the most dangerous animal in the river.
tiny? he already weighs more than an adult human :D but even his 3000 pound mum is cute, so I give you that one
I mean, human babies can grow up to be the most dangerous thing on the planet
Mama:” that’s too big for you, let me help”. 🥰
Adorable. I like how mom said well if you’re not going to eat it then I am. 😂
He is just so cute…he had more fun playing with it!😂😂😂. Thanks for sharing!❤️😊😘
That was momma cutting the crust off Jr's PB&J. ❤
🤣
@@CheyenneMtnZoohonestly that's not even a little bit funny
lol
@@OmegaRedFan well we find it funny
I love the way the hippo's have their mouths open waiting before the food long before the food gets to them.
THEY MADE A GAME ABOUT THEM HUNGRY HUNGRY HIPPOS
This guy is Fritz-level cute. Little hippos are awesome.
Baby hippos have such happy faces 😀
Adorable babies, but they can still take your arm off.
You'd be happy too if you knew that in due time no one out there could mess with you.
@@liamg2271in due time? Do you mean the second they are born. Mama hippos are not there for decoration.
@boglarkaszabo5031
I didn't mean to disregard mama hippos. My point is that baby hippos can introduce humans to darkness relatively quickly with their tremendous strength and power.
This is too adorable 🥰
So this is what 'Hungry Hungry Hippos' is about.
😆
OHOHOHO SO CUTE!!! I love then Omo can't crush it, mama Zambezi crush it so easily and intentionally leave a perfect piece for Omo to try out, thoughtful mom & adorable kid, can anything be better???
Mom was like, sorry bro, too slow.
What a precious cutie! 💕
They are so adorable when they walk around with their mouth wide open
I just knew that mom was going to steal it, LOL.
Omo’s mum has decided that Omo will find all the watermelon nutrients in the breast milk. 😂
Ah cute! He will grow to a fine living murder tank 🥰
Seeing him trying to put the whole ball-shaped melon in his mouth reminded me so much of the game hungry hungry hippos!
The mom actually left that little piece on purpose! Amazing how they give little bits of food just how we break a little piece off of a sandwich to a baby.
So this is how the game hungry hungry hippo came to be.
Mother hippo's head itself look bigger than her whole baby hippo 😯
They are so Pretty and adorable! ❤️
I love,love,love Cheyene Mountain Zoo. I went there as a child, took my son when he was young and now my grandchildren❣️
I'm Anita: This is just too adorable! Little baby hippo's are so cute!
Omo says ono! Mom to the rescue. Lol
Hungry, hungry hippos!
Hippos have the cutest little feet!!🦛❤
So adorable!❤️
Omo & Fritz Should Meet. Its Adorable On A Whole Different Level Never Seen Before. ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
Thanks mom! 💖
Amazing how cute yet dangerous that animal is. Like a polar bear
This was actuality what inspired the hit game hungry hungry hippos
He’s learning!
It totally looks like the Hungry Hungry Hippos game!
Fancy a Game of....
HUNGRY HIPPOS
It's crazy how babies bring stuff to life like this watermelon perhaps😂
Mommy done stole his watermelon! Shameful..lol
OMG mama hippo is huge. The melon 🍈 looks so small
she weighs 3000 pounds , but males can be twice that size or more
Mom's just a big ol' Hoover vacuum.
Mama and Omo are my spirit fuel
Adorable.
Cuteness overload .
Maybe next time roll half of one at a time while keeping mom busy. Cute little baby💖
I was a little kid, 1st time at a Zoo and there was this really thick glass type thing where a Hippo the size of mom in your Zoo. It looked at me, and raised it's leg and went pee on the glass. Funny, I was really little at the time and that's one of only two animals I remember seeing.
The other animal was a Goat that ate my straw hat.😂😁 😎🖒
It keeps running away from me mom......
A lot of people say hippos are dangerous, but nothing this cute could be dangerous!
I played this game a lot as a child, back in the 80s
Aww back when Omo was so wittle
Mom was willing to help, for a hefty price
I just LOVE baby animals 😊❤❤❤😊
i can't believe the zoo attendant went anywhere near that mama. her head is probably bigger than the whole of the human.
Our keepers say they have never seen aggression from our hippos. These hippos have built trusting relationships with their care team, so they don't feel the need to defend themselves from keepers. But, because of their size and their potential as wild animals with instincts, keepers only interact with them from the other side of a protective barrier, for everyone's safety.
Is it real, couldn’t believe,
Ma sha Allah MashAllah
Thank you for sharing - very enjoyable
The mums head is massive
That reminds me of one time as a kid I was picking strawberries in the forrest with my grandma. After an hour or so we collected half a cup. I proudly showed it my mom and offered her a taste and she took the cup and poured everything into her mouth.
Mummy hippo is huuuuge
How cute
Getting up close to a hippo mom (even in a zoo) requires guts!
Ha, I had a black cat called Omo...........(Now I've got one called Cobweb......(Sweet vid...........
I think Fiona and Fritz have some competition.
Lol moms like enoughs enough! No more playing w ur food son! I’ll get this done for ya!
ADORABLE ❤
Mom said stop playing with your food.😂
Aww this is a cute video!
I'm glad his mom did it for him because he would not have been able to😂😅
So cute!
No matter how aggressively dangerous hippos can be, you gotta admit those soft, large heads are really cute. You just wanna hold their giant muzzle, shake 'em a little and say, "who's a good puppy!" Luckily I know better than that, and zoo staff would be quick to stop me anyway.
Omo!!! 🥰😍
Happy Turkey Day, Omo!
OMG cute❤
a memory of an old flash game came up suddenly as i stared at the water melon
The deadliest mammal on the continent, scared by a tiny watermelon.
so good. thank you
So cute
Thanks for sharing Great first try!
He learns from her mother how to eat.
Che mamma gentile. Gli ha lasciato solo un pezzo di buccia
What a sweetie ❤❤
Cute, but no to zoos, yes to sanctuaries and rescue places
Many people have outdated views of modern zoos, but the reality is that we do so much good for the animals in our care, and for species in the wild. Zoos accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA), including us, meet stringent animal management and care standards to achieve that accreditation, including living environments, social groupings, health, and nutrition. AZA also evaluates each accredited zoo’s involvement in conservation and education programs, among many others. Our veterinary team is involved with creating cutting-edge treatments for issues that affect not only our animals, but those in the wild, as well.
We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that receives no tax support. We have partnered with our guests to send more than $4.5 million since 2008 to help conserve wild species around the globe, and often send our staff experts into the field to help them, as well. We are proud to be part of the solution.
As an accredited member of the AZA, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo participates in many Species Survival Plan (SSP) programs. These programs are run by species experts and involve the detailed tracking of species genetics for animals in human care. With global animal populations declining, many of these SSPS have helped to put animals back into the wild. Species such as the California condor, Wyoming toad, black-footed ferret, golden lion tamarin and scimitar horned Oryx would not exist in the wild today if it weren’t for zoo breeding programs.
If you’re open to expanding your horizons, feel free to learn more about our Zoo at cmzoo.org/news.
You need to get with the times. Zoos and sanctuaries are now one in the same in many regards. Zoos handle the breeding, while sanctuaries handle the rehabbing. They can’t do it without the other anymore
Babies are babies..😊
Squish it, then eat it. ❤
Omo literally means baby or a child in Nigeria’s Yoruba language 🥰
I was so hoping that momma would not have gotten to it before baby did. Maybe next time 😊😊
Aww lol 😊❤
Watermelon is delicious, Omo, try it!
They have terrifying jaws!
They are impressive!
Go Omo!!!!!
Adult hippos have this psycho stare that I find very unnerving
Omo is to cute🍉🤣
hippos are beasts...
It was for the baby, then mom gobbled it up.
yet another mom ruining fun childhood moment
Seeing them from that angle really shows how horrifying it would be to have one of those after you.
HUNGRY HUNGRY HIPPOS
❤❤❤😊
Too cute
Today? This watermelon
Tomorrow? A head or two
Why do hippos have such cute *ears?*
Cute 😊
