This recent video clip from Capital of Texas Zoo, where a hippo was happy to help with a gender reveal, crushing a Jello-filled watermelon to help the parents uncover the sex of their new child. Some folks have expressed disapproval, partially over feeding the hippo so much food coloring (I mean... it's a hippo... it weighs thousands of pounds. It'll be fine), most over the father's audible relief over the gender of the baby.
(For another hippo-centric photo, check out Cincinnati Zoo's Fiona photobombing a proposal).
Birthday parties, weddings, family reunions are all great ways to help people build happy memories of zoos and zoo animals. It helps us make new friends and sometimes sneakily share a message about our animals.
Congrats to the happy couple... and congrats to the hippo for scoring a watermelon.
