One bite was all it took 😳

Hippos are herbivores that mainly feed on grasses, eating up to 88 lbs each night while grazing. Although watermelon isn't a regular part of their wild diet, zoos and wildlife parks often offer it as an occasional treat or enrichment snack because it's safe for hippos to eat and provides extra hydration.
