During harvest season, we love to see videos of zoo animals having fun playing with and eating pumpkins. At the Oregon Zoo, they have the annual "Squishing of the Squash" event for the elephants (see several previous videos of that) Now we get to see the rhinos do it!
The Oregon Zoo's black rhinos showed us what those horns are good for -they are tools, used to open up a pumpkin by goring or even slicing it. They are also pretty good for tossing things or even carrying them around. You may call these magnificent beast rhinos, rhinoceros, tank puppies, or unicorns. Oh, yeah, the elephants have already had their Squishing of the Squash this year, too.
The pumpkins are donated by local farmers with extra pumpkins and hobbyists who grow giant pumpkins for the fun of it. The zoo animals have enjoyed a lot of prize winners in the past! A good time was had by all. -via Laughing Squid
