The pygymy hippo, called Tank, chewed down on the watermelon very quickly before revealing blue liquid
A fifth stated: ‘The joy on his face knowing it’s going to be a boy is simply the worst. Along with making a hippo behind a gated fence eating a food coloring watermelon.’
Following the widespread backlash, Ana, who shared the Tik Tok video to Twitter, added she’d been in touch with the couple who assured her the hippo was safe.
‘Bridgette explained: ‘This was one of the happiest days of our lives.
‘With the help of the zoo and the amazing Tank the hippo, we learned that we are having a baby boy.
Bridgette described the day as ‘one of the happiest of her life’ adding they’d been trying for a baby boy

‘After many years of raising our beautiful young lady, we decided to try for another baby. It took some time and some extra money in fertility treatments, but we finally got pregnant!
‘We would have been over the moon just the same to have another girl, but would have had to keep trying for a boy, and it could have got very expensive.
‘I want to experience the mother-son relationship so badly.’
‘I am filled with joy to learn that we got out baby boy! Can’t wait to meet him.
‘Also, for anyone that is concerned for the hippo and his well-being, he has been hand raised by his amazing owner, who assisted us in feeding him only food that is safe for him to consume… organic Jell-O inside the watermelon… and yes, Tank was more than happy to have the treat.’
