A newborn hippopotamus calf has shared her first solid meal of chopped vegetables with her mum. Videos taken by the care team at Toronto Zoo in Canada show the adorable pygmy calf taking a bath, climbing and snuggling on camera. Mother Kindia, 12, can be seen keeping a close eye on the yet-unnamed calf - who delights in getting her feet wet in the bath.
At birth, pygmy hippos weigh up to 14 pounds - and this little calf is gaining weight steadily, weighing 25 pounds after four weeks.
