Cutest tantrum ever!
That was such a great video of little Penelope with mom. She is really exploring the new place and telling mom what she wants to do with that tantrum. Such a cutie. Thanks for sharing it with us. Have a wonderful day.
Does anyone else see her chewing when there’s nothing to chew? Could she be teething? There’s a question I never thought I’d wonder about — at what age do pygmy hippos teethe? That could certainly explain her being restless.
She also got a mouthful of dirt/sand in her first tantrum/headshake. She may have been wondering what the heck that new texture is… babies… 🙂
Oh, those are good theories. I thought perhaps she was being bothered by gnats/flies.
Hehe little wet avocado
Just for the record: I want a hippopotamus for Christmas. Only a hippopotamus will do.
A pygmy model would be fine, as would the full-size version.
