There's been a new delivery at Melbourne Zoo in Australia.
A rare pygmy hippo has been presented to the world on Jun. 7, the first of its kind since 1981. The male baby, born two weeks prior, is the son of hippo parentals, mother Petre and father Felix. The little fella wasted no time getting all muddy before he took a shower for the cameras.
According to the zoo's Wild Sea Manager Justin Valentine, Petre has settled into her new role as mother and the zoo is stoked about the new arrival.
"All of us are incredibly excited to be welcoming this calf after so many years without a Pygmy Hippo birth," he wrote in a statement.
