Pygmy Hippo baby makes a splash

- Obi, our little baby Pygmy Hippo ventured out with mum, Petre, for a swim in the big pool for the first time. The name Obi means heart in the Nigerian Igbo language, and he is certainly melting a few hearts here at Melbourne Zoo :)
That awkward moment when you want to pet it but you also want both arms
well my friend, in life you can't have all you want. So really, i'd say 1 arm in return for the experience is perfectly ok :)
You'll be fine
Keleigh Mccrorey we would be screwed if the weren't
use a leg
A Guy Who Can Do A Elmo Voice We aren't looked at as a meal though.
That little baby hippo doesn’t even realize how perfect he is.
He is a gummy capsule of adorbs
Cute little fella
Muah ha ha i ruined ur 666 likes
Yup, until he gets old and kills the male baby hippos.
😁🙏
He's so precious that I forget hippos are scary creatures.
Pygmy Hippos' arent as dangerous as their big Cousins. They are only 1/4 of the weight and reach only 1 metre in Height on average.
@@roadhigher Okay, still though.
هع الله عليه
It’s a Pygmy hippo u idiot they aren’t dangerous lol
@@jblvxk If you haven't noticed, I was already informed that. If not, then you are the actual idiot for not doing so.
at 0:38 when the mom bites in the air and the baby copies her. too cute
Yes! 💕
So precious 💖
He is not copying her all hippos do that dumbass
It’s so precious. 🥹
Why do they do that?
his lil ear: *flaps*
me: *incoherent noises*
That's a sign to show confidence, so he/she is one confident little boy/girl!
Omg literally me
Same
Didn’t even realize I was doing this exact same thing. Lol
me: *farts*
Those tiny ears!!
they remind me of shrek for some reason
PsychoGhost XD
A good boy
I love how he looks like he’s trying to climb on her back but keeps sliding off 😂
So cute~
His adorable little ear wiggle gets me every time.
Baby hippo: wiggles ears
Depression: ight imma head out
Vlada Andric ,#1000.
That was so fucking adorable I nearly squeaked while in a store 💀💀
Then it was never a depression.
Its still cute tho.
THIS SHIT WAS TOO CUTE I'MMA NEED TO HEAD OUT🥺🥺🥺🥺

“Hippos are one of the most dangerous animals on earth “
The hippo:
Well African Hippos are
Imagine being between those jaws
this is a baby hippo though
Except for a baby pygmy

I remember many years ago at Edinburgh zoo I got tickets for my girlfriend, my sister and her husband to see the baby pigmy hippo. We all waited at the designated area when the staff announced it was coming out and, after a twenty minute wait, a tiny hippo appeared, everyone went 'AAAAWWWWWWWW 🥰' it was very cute I must admit.
But it was the mummy hippo we all saw first, the little water potato baby came in about ten seconds later when everyone just finished their 'awwwww' so everyone went even more crazy with a super duper 'AAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩'' and I nearly went deaf. I swear the baby hippo was enjoying every second and the mummy hippo was very proud. It was one of the most magical moments in my life because it was such a positive, beautiful energy given by everyone there. People were helping each other to see the little hippo family 🙂🙏
I said awwwwwwww reading this comment 😅😅😅
Yeh, they’re better in the wild, in their natural habitat though rather than an animal prison!
yep it’s jail for entertainment
It’s crazy to think she’s 7 years old now ❤I remember watching this video when it was posted 🙏🏻❤️🥰🥹

Baby hippos are adorable! ❤
I recently visited a zoo that has Pygmy hippos, and I am now convinced that they are the best animals on the planet.
Pygmy hippo calves are like Nature’s consolation prize, for those who wished the North American house hippo was real.

Idk I'd be pretty proud if that was my potat.
AND YES, MR. MISGENDER, IT'S A BOI. I JUST KNOW. (Also: picking my battles. The stuff that MATTERS)
Animal mom is better than human mon. Animal mom take care her baby.
@SMILE. ish .... ikr? "Decent sized potato". He's a big ole nibbly potat, and still so smol! Reminds me of a round seal but +10 cute babby points.

How adorable. Let's not forget mama hippo, she's super cute also. I love their face 🦛💕
This little guy is the most precious thing that has ever come to this planet ☺️
that little baby jesus was a close second
I wanna pet it, but then I also dont want to die.
+Sky Pie These are pygmy ones, their smaller. I'm sure they're not dangerous... Let's tell ourselves that...
By "pet it" do you mean ride on top of the little hippo like a horsey? bc I would definitely die for that experience :)
No one wants too but everyone gets too.
cutest beastie that can bite your leg off.

Same ! 😂😂😂
The world’s deadliest animal has no business being cute
Jojo reference??!?!!?!!???!
Jarvi Espinal The hippo is the animal who has killed most humans aside from malaya
Yes, but it’s a Pygmy hippo, so it’s not as terrifying when it tried to kill you. But yeah regular hippos are freakin terrifying, those adorable lips hide freakin massive tusks and the fact that they will eat meat is also not helpful.
pygmy hippos arent dangerous
@@brece5452 hippos rarely eat meat
Lol the way the baby tried to get a grip on mama and then just repeatedly slip and bounce in the water is adorable
I love they way they move their ears so fast, like a spring! 😁 Imagine how it would look on humans! -"Wait, are you lying to me?!" -"How did you find out?" -"Your left ear!" -"Oh, not the ears again! I've must glue them to my head!"👂
He looks like he's gonna ask what you're doing in his swamp but very politely
bro what if shrek is a hippo cuz look at his ears omg they look the same
"Sir, would you be so kind as to tell me why you're in my swamp?" (in a British accent of course)
cat leyva I think he is a hippo mixed with a human
The next is the mommy comes and bites the head off and Bruce the hippo goes "but what did you do that for mommy"
@@masonwiltrout7437 shrek is scottish
but i can see why you said that 😆
its actually a bit confusing
He's a little swimming potato with Shrek ears and I love him.
😂 🥔
Potato with shrek ears, the ultimate life form
That was fantastic to watch! Very good footage and adorable baby hippo. His beady, curious eyes peeking from the water is just so cute! Thank you for the Zen of natural sounds, birds, water, hippos, no human talk and NO MUSIC, WHAT JOY!
Ikr!!!!!! Just the background sounds of nature are amazing! The perfect ASMR....
What a precious sweetheart Obi is! He’s a heart melter! 🥰
Imagine floating down a river and all of a sudden this adorable little thing pokes its head out the water.
I'd find it cute but then be horrified knowing the mother probably isn't to far off
Swim away, is what I'd say...
Run Barry, RUN!
You better start swimming to shore and start running if that happens
Scared as hell cause mom is around for sure and she s not gonna give me a nice welcome
Hippo: swimming happily in the water.
Birds in the back: REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
It's us... we're the birds
They’re happy too
🤣
This is just how birds be in Australia
I was so focused on the hippo, that I didnt even hear the birds
0:14 Killing part. THAT EAR. omg...
Awww, Obi is so very cute 🥰 he is adorable and precious little baby. It melts your heart just watching this beautiful baby hippo with his Mom swimming…..I feel like hugging and kissing him if given the opportunity, so very delightful indeed. God bless Obi always with health and a long life as well as his Mama too. It is awesome they are together. Love the video it is absolutely lovely and wonderful. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🥰😘😍👍👍🙌🙌🙏🙏
Ah yes, the graceful smiling water potato

Omg you killed me. 😂😂😂

Sorcell OMG
For f*cks sake that thing is too cute
@Miaou Miaou is that how they'll have you for dinner?
I though you where going to say it was ugly, and my mind went: ::^, >:0, “Wh- how-“
Everybody says that until they try to kill you!
I KNOW!! Animals should have limits to the amount of adorableness they can display because how lethal it is for humans to witness. This is why heart attacks are the number 1 killing cause because cute animals like that kill us with their cuteness.
I'm shaking
I’m literally crying , it’s so cute !!
I didn’t expect such gentle behavior from the hippo persuasion 😂❤️.
One of the deadliest animals of the African continent, starts out looking teenie tiny and cuddly
Annick N
like most of the deadliest mammals in all honesty
That's implying they aren't adorable all grown up
Hippos are the deadliest animal in Africa. These are pygmy hippos. Pygmy hippos are not hippos. They are different species.
@@lachlanbell8390 Pretty sure the most deadly on the continent is the mosquito.
@@JohnSmith-sk7cg Semantics. Mosquitoes don't kill people, the diseases they carry do. The difference is semantic, but it's always a good idea to make sure you're not technically wrong before offering a correction 😉

This pygmy hippo is really adorable! I love watching him/her swim and frolic in the water.
How can one of the most dangerous animals be so adorable it’s not fair
Baby hippo = cute. Adult hippo = terrifying
@@Wise101 this is the way
I mean... these are pygmy hippo's, they're a lot less dangerous. And a lot more cute than normal hippo's.
just like humans

pygmy hippos are already cute by themselves. but a baby pygmy hippo? damn this is super adorable
Cute, cute, cute! 😊, I enjoy watching the baby Pygmy Hippo 🦛 enjoying & learning being around mother Pygmy hippo 🦛.
i don’t mind isolation while watching this adorable thing.

Yep such cute potatoes 🥔
I mind it and im mad as fk. Isolation sucks. Ill murder ppl as soon as im released.
i self-isolate myself everyday so i don't mind at all.
Kairo Knert Why is no one caring about this comment 🤣
Science: "Hippos are killing machines."
Our brains: "BUT THEY'RE *SO* CUTE THOUGH!!!"
Also hot, example *Moto-Moto* 😏
They're cute... when viewed through a video or a very safe distance. Where you're in no danger of being murdered.
The "normal" big Hippos are, but Pygmy Hippos only are Pig-Size and generally avoid Humans. They can be kept in Zoos with nothing but a small Chicken Wire Fence separating them from Visitors.
@@Genius_at_Work what do you mean by "normal hippos"?
Di you mean African Hippos
That's like saying a farm pig is a notmal pig
@@epikorange5983 The big and dangerous common Species of Hippos that everybody knows. Pygmy Hippos are a completely different Species and I included that "normal" to avoid Confusion. Many People don't know about Pygmy Hippos at all, as they've only been discovered about 180 Years ago and there still isn't much known about them because they are very rarely observed in the Wild.
I never ever thought of hippos as adorable...but that shit is ADORABLE. All caps.
What a sweet baby! If hippos weren’t so volatile, I’d hug him!
cutest thing was little fella wiggling his little ears

Hippos look like they should be sweet and cuddly. I just want to pick this baby up and snuggle it. And then I remember that mommy hippo wouldn't be super sweet about that at all. 😂
I actually "met" a baby Pygmy Hippo in a wildlife reserve in South Africa. The baby came scampering out from a shaded area right in front of me. It took me a few seconds to realise that this miniature battleship was indeed an animal. Just then, his mother came out of the shadows in front us and the little battleship nuzzled it's way into feeding position. Just like a human baby, the satisfied Hippo calf was ready for a nap - right in the middle of the path! Mama Hippo however had a better idea and gradually nudged the baby's bum off the path into a clump of high grass and the two settled in for an afternoon kip. Such encounters are privileged moments of Grace, each one a unique and indelible memory. Bless the Beasts. 😇
He protects
He attacks
But most importantly
He makes cute splash.

Nothing bad happen to hippos, they are the one who does the bad.

@@Knoah321 I think other hippos kill babys
Definitely one of the cutest videos I’ve ever seen
Aww, the baby is so tiny! 🥺❤️ I love animals so much.
More deadly the animal, the cuter the babies. That’s just scientific fact.
@TheOtherWhiteBread0 idk bias? Do you see other humans as deadly all by themselves and without any tools?
Lol
Ah yes black widow babies are the most adorable of them all. Don't you think so?
Ah yes. That explains why I find reptile and spider babies to be the most adorable
FUmarc Ah yes. That explains why I find reptile and spider babies to be the most adorable
Although they might look like pigs, their actual closest relatives are the cetaceans (whales, dolphins, porpoises, etc.)
