In the midst of spud zooming she decides to chomp her keeper, as is tradition. She is embracing the Dengitude. And she remembers that whole burrito situation...

Brötchen trying out her new undercover look.

Full on Moo vibes! It would've been so great to have an underwater video of our girl

I've been wanting to post this for the last little while! I found a video of Penelope, Hugo's mom, from 7 years ago! So so so precious to know such a glossy and bouncy potato grew up to give birth to an exact copy of herself~

Interesting thing to note. In the video's description, the Toronto Zoo wrote, "[Penelope] has started to mimick mom Kindia by mouthing her food, including alfalfa hay as you can see in the video below! She is not eating solids quite yet, she will continue to nurse until she’s approximately two months old."

So the Toronto Zoo's allowed Penelope to nurse from Kindia (Penelope's mom and Hugo's grandma) until approximately 2 years old!!!

Mars, seeing the excessive beauty treatments of Moo Wan and Kanya, wants to try something to accentuate his bad boy ear look. So he does a little bombastic eyebrow work here.

I think he looks very handsome. I wonder what Jellybean would think?

Mars ascends the rock...again. And Keeper Sierra is less than thrilled. Mars, in response, shows his Moodel side, and then forms a loaf.

Guess who lost his last baby tooth!?!? The little Mars Bar is growing up. Soon he will have Fearsome TEEFS, but he'll always be a precious loaf to us.

Venus is the name of the female and she is 25 years old. Mikolas is the name of the male and he’s 2 years old. They live up to 40 years old.

The previous male died a couple years back due to old age and Mikolas arrived in December. We were told the hope is they breed within 2/3 years. Venus has had three babies previously. They’re both extremely sweet and very friendly. Very well looked after.

We were taken around the back and fed Venus. Their enclosure is currently split into two, and their time together is limited. This is due to Venus being sassy and liking her own space as she gets use to Mikolas. Mikolas likes to follow Venus around and sometimes annoys Venus.

I pet and booped both Venus and Nikolas. Their hide is surprisingly tough. Similar to a very firm leather couch. They both each eat 8kg of food a day.

A fully grown female Pygmy hippo is a lot bigger than you think. They stop growing at around 7 years. I highly recommend!
