Yes perturbations are a genetic weakness in rhinos; also called watermelon bears among Bushmen, Hadzabe and the bronze age Nuba peoples as per ancient myth and rock paintings. Interestingly, a hand made four thousand year old watermelon bear shoe was discovered in a steep cave recently along with bow legged bear rider bones. This stuff is just amazing to me.
It seems that she first punctures the suspected food, then half-closes her eyes as she smells it (probably to confirm it is food) and it smells....FANTASTIC! Cool, sweet, wet. It might be a favorite smell with lots of happy favorite memories, too, not just "Hey, it's snacks!".
Jozi and King sure got the better of those watermelons. It was great to visit them (along with various other species) at the zoo on my birthday today. ^^
I like how cartoonish this scenario is. A rhinoceros in the sun on a nice day in a forest-like area, using its horn to open a nice watermelon. Sounds like the intro to an old folktale.
They are actually so cute, did you know when frightened or hurt, they squeek like little puppies and sound so cute too lol I have seen a honey badger chasing some and they squeeked and sounded like little puppies or even some like kittens, was weird. Love them!
Can really see their high level of intelligence in this video, including their social interaction and emotional response to the pleasure of eating it. I love how they take the time to prepare it to maximize enjoyment, a high level mammal intelligence.
The African rhino's are superisingly only aggressive in Africa because of their predator neighbors,but in zoos the keepers say there just big lap dogs...but the keepers are still careful.
Never seen a Rhino in this state, doing something casually such as eating. I found it interesting how he inspected the watermelon and then flicked it off his horn. You can see that it's an intelligent creature.
That was soooo stinking cute when he had the piece of watermelon on the tip of his horn.....and the noises he made while eating!!! Adorable!!!
RIGHT😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That's how I eat
Why is that so adorable in an animal but when a human eats like that it's disgusting?
@@DrummerJacob
That's a good question 😁
@@DrummerJacob it's adorable when I eat like that and I'm a human
It’s not every day that you get to see a rhino crunching on a watermelon. Adorable! ❤ 🍉
Im just happy to see safe Rhinos, watched a horrible video of a Rhino who survived having the front of its face hacked off with its horns.
seeing a rhino looking perturbed with a watermelon rind stuck on his horn made my day 😂😍

@@johndonahue4777 cool
Gentle giants. Like elephants, they just want to be left alone.
Love them.
When it sees that bit of disembowelled melon stuck on its horn and tosses it off 😆
Yea, it's like ohhhh that's what's in there. 😂🤣😂😂
❤
I've never seen a critter enjoy a Watermelon as much as this beautiful beast. ☺☺😋😋🥰🥰

Okay...
you snort a little paint today lady?
She is the cutest thing the world has ever seen when she chews that chunk😊
The cutest thing huh? Maybe in your own eyes. You can't speak for the world. I don't think that's the cutest thing doing that.
@@timnik2902what is your fucking problem??
@@timnik2902what is your fucking problem
@@timnik2902Shut up.
@@alexisjones5509 make me lil bi+ch
I love how he used his horn like a can opener, anchoring the watermelon against the rocks while he pierced it. It must have tasted so refreshing
its fucking scary how little effort he uses to penetrate that watermelon... it doesnt even use any power...

Thanks for narrating for the blind people 🙏🏻
I have never seen rhino lips but theyre sooo cute its like a big squishy turtle
One satisfied rhino indeed. Then, another one. ❤
My gosh, that was heartwarming. So cute when they eat the watermelon.
people just don't realize how beautiful these
dinosaurs are in person.
Apperently they are related to horses 🤯
Erm, Actully Rhinos are part of the clade Mammalia not Dinosauria
It’s so fascinating it’s see not only how they use their horns, but their lips too! It’s fun to watch how prehensile the upper lip is
Jozi and King sure got the better of those watermelons. It was great to visit them (along with various other species) at the zoo on my birthday today. ^^
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday Dear Austin
Happy Birthday to you from Philly!

@@reemclaughlin4260 Thank you for that. :)
Looked like the one guy pigged out and ate them all
@@AustinSPTD1996Similar to the rhino from Tarzan 2 eating
That rhino loves watermelon 🍉 😊
I love hearing the slurps chews and swallows. He/she is really enjoying this watermelon.❤
But when I do it I’m a pig.
@@Woozlewuzzleabledid you just compare yourself to a rhino
No, I compared myself to a pig.
So beautiful.
I wish I had a rhino or two, to keep each other company.
*Cute stuff. 2nd rhinoceros came in saying "You ate 'em BOTH??!"*
He's making versatile use of his horn. It just goes to show that "when you're a hammer everything looks like a nail."
This is ME eating watermelon 🍉
🤣☮️
You have watermelon on your horn
This made me want watermelon myself. It looked very yummy.
0:17 .. and then the way he looks at it... and then flicks it off 😂

Wow rhinos are a very marvelous animal, as if they came from the era of dinosaurs We should preserve this rare animal ❤
Agreed. ❤🥰
0:18 Rhino: “Hey cool, shish kebab! Now how the heck do I eat it?”
I knew that rhino looked familiar, I was staring straight at it back in August when I was out in Portland. Loved the zoo.
The slurping sounds are so wholesome 😂😍
1:34 “dang it Jimmy, you at all the crap!”
Wow … this rhino made it look so delicious and refreshing.
That Rhino eats Watermelons just like I do !
All I can think about is the amount of ants that are on their way!
That rhino’s living its best life.
Yeah, that's what I sound like eating watermelon too.
Looks like me, trying to use chopsticks.
So cute !
LOL LOL I love the way he got the piece of watermelon that was stuck on the tip of his horn off!! Just kind of FLICKED it off.
Amazing !! I never knew they had a top lip like a small trunk to grasp food.
That's the healthiest looking rhino i've ever seen ❤❤
Sweet baby ! Watermelon is sweet and refreshing.
I knew those horns served a purpose 😂😂😂❤❤❤
Beautiful animals that needs to be protected ❤❤❤
STICKY, STICKY HIPPO, WATER MELON JUICE EVERYWHERE BUT HIS CABOOSE!! LOL!😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
They can always tell when they are perfectly ripe😂
I haven't seen anything enjoying something this much since Spike eating that tall grass in The Land Before Time!
Rhino: *plays with watermelon*
Also rhino:*eats watermelon*
It's so nice when Eddie Hall puts out a video of his diet.
I had no idea rhinos could articulate their lips so well.
That tiny little elephant trunk/rhino lip is so cute and insectoid
They are actually so cute, did you know when frightened or hurt, they squeek like little puppies and sound so cute too lol I have seen a honey badger chasing some and they squeeked and sounded like little puppies or even some like kittens, was weird. Love them!
i did not know bro was chill like that

It's just eating a water melon!

Its eating a fruit

I want Watermelon!!!🍉
The diversity of life is on this planet truly is a wonderful thing.
Num num num.
Dude went scorched Earth on the watermelon and left none for the disappointed buddy. 🤣
This made me smile.
Rhinos look so cool and friendly.
You've seen a hippo eat a watermelon.
Rhino: hold my beer
They really are like living excavators. A few simple flex’s of the neck can smush fruit or overturn a jeep.
I absolutely love rhinos and they are one of my fav animals :)
My new phrase, as happy as a rhino eating a watermelon.
Fun fact: every time a rhino tells a lie, it's horn grows.
People: this video shows high level of intelligence
Rhino: must eat watermelon 😵💫
Aww, I love them ❤❤!
You can see the moment when the rhino goes "ooo this tastes good"
I never notice rhinos had a long funny looking top lip
He's going to be spitting seeds at all the tourists next.
that horn is gorgeous. Definitely worth a lot of money.
I can just taste that watermelon! What a nice treat for them.
Rhino is a modern era dinosaur that somehow survived
He really looks cute and looks very happy but this is some serious power. He crushed that watermelon with like 1% effort
i like how the rhino tilts its head back to drink the delicious juice
he scarfed that down faster than your average nba allstar
Awesome! Thank you for sharing this video~🤗
Rhino owner: Omg why is your horn bleeding!
Rhino: me want watermalon
The African rhino's are superisingly only aggressive in Africa because of their predator neighbors,but in zoos the keepers say there just big lap dogs...but the keepers are still careful.
Look at how happy he is lol
I've never seen a Rhino eat
I've seen gorillas eating.
These Rhinos are so cool
I can relate - I sometimes slobber when I eat watermelon too.
I'm with ya dude. I love them too.
that watermelon looked like an apple next to his adorable big head
1:17 bruh this is literally how most of my family eats
The way it stabbed that first piece and shrugged it off 😂😂 he definitely knows he has an all purpose tool 😭👏
That rhino's horrible table manners made me lose my appetite. Kudos to the cameraman though, for having balls of steel.
lmao this is the best ASMR ever 🤣🤣🤣
He was indeed hungry! 😁
he cleary likes it!
Cronch cronch cronch

There are many intelligent creatures on this earth. THIS is not one of them.
Watching him spear those watermelons gave me a terrifying thought: carnivorous rhinos!
Juicy Fruit!
That upper lip works as a mini trunk?!! I've never noticed this about Rhinos, it's not a trunk but it moves like the tip of one.
I imagine that if you're a giant hippo you are ALWAYS hungry.
This thing is so cute. It looks like a doggy. PLEASE SAVE THESE CREATURES.
Get him a fork and a bib.
He's enjoying that watermelon 😂
Wow he really enjoys it
I fail to imagine a creature with any less finesse 😂
Elephant, hippo, gorilla

What a beautiful, magnificent animal.
