- Today, animals at Brookfield Zoo were treated to some Halloween treats-pumpkins. The African lions, sloth bears, meerkats, red river hogs, pygmy hippos, and rhinos seemed to thoroughly enjoy their treats. Some of the pumpkins were carved out and filled with other goodies such as grain, meal worms, meat, raisins, and grapes.
Through the end of the month, many of the zoo's other animals will be receiving pumpkins too. This weekend, zoo guests can see the lions and sloth bears receiving pumpkins during the annual Boo! at the Zoo celebration on October 27 and 28.
The meerkats playing inside the pumpkins was something I didn’t know I needed to see
They are just practicing until they get a chance at a real human head.
For me it was the rhino lol
I hate Meerkats...
That Rhino did a theater surgery on that pumpkin.. Gentle and efficient
He looks so wise
The meerkats were too funny and diligent.
If it would crush it, it would have to eat it with dirt on it.
@Pedro Levi holy crap I thought you were lying but it finally happened
@@calebwilliams586 ? No they're not.
The satisfaction on that rhinos face as he finally got a mouthful is just delightful.
Im happy to see that both Timon, Pumba AND Simba each got one!
Yes! I was thinking same lol!
Simba doesn't seem very impressed.
@@InappropriatePolarbear Simba didn't see the meat inside.
Rhino: controlled power, not raw smashing force and eats its meal with distinguished enjoyment !
Ikr he's so relaxed he almost fell asleep in the pumpkin when he first cracked it lol
Lion: *We're carnivores, damnit humans*
they stuck meat inside of the pumpkins
Pumpkin is good for you! It keeps you regular!
@@TheDeldiz regular? i dont understand xD
@@diybeast3943 It helps get rid of constipation in cats.
@@TheDeldiz I know that, but its not specifically being regular in my opinion
Zoo: Everybody's happily eating
Lion: WTF is going with this?
“Damn it Sheryl you always give me the wrong food”
2:31 Am I the only one who was surprised that rhinos can do that thing with their upper lip?
they use it similarly to how Asian elephants do .. like a finger
I know, right. It's like a finger, lol!
Me too
I already knew that,that's why rhinos are able to eat thorns and other things that the other creatures can't
Black rhinos have that pointier upper lip while white rhinos have a flat straight lip. This is due to being from different locations with different foliage availability
I feel like if that rhino could talk , he'd be able to tell me the secrets to life. Such a wise looking fella.
Indeed
How do they know there horns are there?
he'd say become a rino
@@mylifeismylife5056 well, how do you know your hair is there? Most creatures have a basic sense of their body.
Edit: tf is going on with my comment
I know exactly what he'd say
The Rhino is so gentle.
That Rhino really seemed to enjoy the smell of the pumpkin after it cracked it, seemed to savor it as it consumed it.
MEERKATS IN PUMPKINS!!!!! That was ridiculously cute! Also, I loved the warthog's butt waddle as it ran off with its pumpkin.
This is great enrichment for the animals, actually. Placing meats inside carved pumpkins for the lions and using carved pumpkins as domes for meerkats gives both of these animals occupied by something new. But you also got the hippopotamus and the rhino, and catering to them through behavioral enrichment means they're getting what they need to feel safe and healthy.
The rhino is such a gentleman.
The rhino is soooo cute eating his pumpkin 😭😭
The meerkats were adorable. The hippo seemed to be enjoying himself; I love how the rhino spiked it and ate it.
He spiked it but he didn't get tipsy afterward. Skills.
I love the meerkat inside the pumpkin and piggy running away with his special pumpkin! All the animals were sweet. The rhino getting the pumpkin caught on it's horn for a moment was funny! Perfect vid for this time of year. I'm adding it to my special holiday vids! Thx!🎃
You have a special holiday video collection? Omg I need one lol can u make urs public? lol!
The pig took a to-go order!
Haha I love Rhinos so much! Please keep up the awareness! We dont want these amazing beasts to go extinct! Also, I love how the Rhino's upper lip kind of seemed like it was acting like a mini- elephant trunk!
I was surprised that the rhino didn't just smash the pumpkin
with force and seemed to be thinking about how best to break it open
cuz rhinos are stoopid
Rhino's have medium intelligence according to TierZoo (tank build video)
@@Little-kc9pt If anything the fact it didn't just smash it open shows how smart it is, he was being careful and methodical so as not to waste any :)
Rhinos have good sense of smell and could tell it was an Africa gourd or an American pumpkin
Interestingly, pumpkins are actually quite nutritious. A lot of pig farmers grow pumpkins on their property because it makes good feed.
That rhino was so cool. And the bears were adorable! I... I loved them all, okay?
Same!
Hippo: easy peasy
Lion: I don’t even need to try
Rino: this is good
Meerkat: what da heck this it will take me years to eat dis
Me: such a cute pumpkin I will put it out my front door
That rhino was so cute 😭
The rhino was precious! 🦏❤️❤️❤️!
The Rhino was in heaven eating that pumpkin lol
I would prefer to be a pumpkin in the lions' cage than anywhere else ...
Why not the meercats as they are crawling inside your corpse as they scratch the inside and tear out your innards
@@goddesskate5958 Haha gold
@@goddesskate5958 Bruh. Lions wouldn't do anything to pumpkin except maybe play a little.
1:06 please advise on what kind of pig this beautiful animal is. Whoever had the pumpkin/animal idea is so smart!
That is a red river hog.
Cleanest pigs I ever saw. 😂
I'd call it the troll pig.
I agree they were so fancy!
It's like the fancy pants of the pig world.
SO cool how the Rhino did what we all wanted and expected of a Rhino!
Who knew we needed this 8yrs later
That rhinos lip was like a finger I’ve never seen that before awesome!
The rhino had a strategy! All of the animals love their pumpkins....what a wonderful video!
They are so clumsy! It's incredible!
Everybody opens the shell in their own way...except the meerkats, they had help.
Rhinos have such sensitive mouths. You think they are brutish, but they are very sensitive and their skin is soft too. Wonderful animals. Bet they would be as affectionate and playful as a dog!
They're herd animals, they'd be more like horses. So curious and affectionate, but not playful, at least as adults.
@@unevennoble9363 Rhinos are not technically herd animals. Black Rhinos are solitary while White Rhinos like to hang out in groups of 10-15 animals.
That was a nice treat.
There's a family of gourds out there watching this horrifically. 😔
I just realized how much The head on a rhinoceros looks like the head on a turtle.🤔 Without the horn.
they became extinct
@@bospaladin8007 This wasn't the rhino species that went extinct.
They enjoyed their treat. Animal candy, it seems. I enjoyed my treat.! Watching them enjoy theirs.. bon appetit.......LOL..!
the meerkats actually look like they‘re the ones making these pumpkins
Zoo: Let's decorate the animal's enclosures to make them look more festive!
Animals: *ME ATE PUMKINZ*
Giving a pumpkin to a lion is like to gift a dress to a kid.
Ok...the posh rhino knows all the diner etiquette
Rhino lips are interesting . Never realized they move kind of like a small elephant trunk.
In the Caribbean we eat our pumpkins, not carve them, glad to see that the food is not dumped
The chickens also live to devour pumpkin parts.
All these animals are real special.
Beautiful animals enjoying a tasty treat
The lion just batted it away like a basketball
I one time got to see the Lions eat a pumpkin when I was a kid. It was so funny
Every animal: "I really wanted full-sized Snickers".
Geez I haven't been to brookfield in 50+years.. that and the museum of science and industry.. I would like to go home for awhile..
Oh, the bliss of chewing, at the end.
Woah that rhino is amazing
Animals are wonderful majestic creatures.
I've never been so glad to have opposable thumbs.
I love the rhino's lip/finger
I didnt need another reason to love Halloween. But here it is :D
The lions r like,"WTF is this thing? They yelled Happy Halloween & threw it over the damn fence."
I didn't realise rhinos have a sort of very small trunk like top lip.
Black rhinos have a pointy, prehensile lip and white rhinos have a straight one.
@@egparis18 white *had
@amygdala they are extinct
Looking at that rhino is like seeing a dinosaur in action
Wow that's different for the animals ,the hippo loved the pumpkin and rhino the whole premise was great. Love your channel.
was anybody else just paying attention to the voices in the background of the rhino video? This lady was just all like "Benjamin let's go... Benjamin... Benjamin... BENJAMIN! lmao I'm dying
Love Brookfield zoo haven’t been there for almost a year! I love to get the wax figures from the moldaramas
Lions: uhh wtf we supposed to do with this?
Bears: mm it smells pretty good i wonder how it tastes
Meerkats: its a house! No its food! No its a scratching post!
Hogs: lemme just take this
Hippo: mmm big MunCh
Rhino: uhh ok so i gotta smash it first... then what how do i eat it
Some of them animals love those pumpkins the wart hog took that pumpkin and ran off with it lol
0:09 "...the hell is that?"
"No idea. I think we can eat it..."
Watching that rhino work on that pumpkin reminded me of an excavator demolishing a car.
Omg, I love those meerkats 😘❤️😍❤️, but, anyway, I love them all ❤️❤️❤️
1:30 Okay, now I'm thinking Oscar Isaac needs to do a Halloween version of "The Hippopotamus Song". lol
Chicago's zoo has to have fences to protect the animals.
That moment when a rhino has more table manners than some adults
Benjamin is cruisin for a bruisin!
Why did I just get reccomended this now, I needed this years ago
"Vile weed!" - Lion
These are great pictures.
assumed the jack o lantern given to animals was a new thing but it seems to be a tradition for awhile now.
Yes, the animals get pumpkins every year around Halloween.
love this! Thanks for sharing🎃 0:39 is so cute!
I like that Rhinos have super flexible lips that allow them to look so expressive, so cute I can’t even. 😂
It very educational watching how different animals deal with new food great vid keep up the good work guys
I think the mere cats were the cutest
The meerkats one Lmao that was cute tho
00:46 is my fav 😂😂😂
And 1:43 the ear wiggles 🥹🥹🥹❤❤❤
Doesn't look too grumpy. They are beautiful but can be bad tempered. Love them anyway.
Thought that pumpkin was gonna be stuck to that rhino
When you see something so peaceful, like the rhinoceros eating the pumpkin, it makes me wonder how people can kill them for sport (or any animal, for that matter).
1:26 my thoughts exactly little dude!
This is so freaking cute. Just wha t needed today.
0:40
Looks like Timon is sick of bugs.
They should’ve put some fresh meat or something in the lion’s just to give them a treat..lol
i saw that was, it rolls out of the pumpkin if you look carefully. took me 2 times to see
Special day, give them a full leg from something big, bone and all, fresh. They would love that.
Should have hid live flightless birds inside the pumpkin, the ratings would go through the roof
Animal at Brookfield Zoo: "Was dis? I needa bullet proof vess. I dont need no punkin."
0:57 you're right kid, you're right
Those meerkats seemed interested lol
Rhino reminded me of a picky eater (I don't like the brown edges of the white bread so I just eat the center)
I'm not a fan of keeping animals in captivity.
However, when the animals have space to run and fresh food brought to them on a daily basis, it makes me a bit jealous...
I would love to lounge around all day with people bringing me food.. How do I get that??
I never thought I'd see a pig mixed with a Floppa until now-
What a great idea! Fun for visitors, nutritious treat for animals.
2:45 incredible and cute looking.. Majestic
the hippo LOL
its so cute
This made me happy 🤗 oh, and you lions better follow suit and eat your veggies!! 🦁💕
That’s so cute
