Hippo's fall shenanigans tickle the internet silly.

Baby hippo Fiona was chowing on some pumpkin for Halloween when she lost her footing and slid into her pool—and the internet is lapping it up.


The Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden uploaded the video to YouTube on Oct 31, 2018.

Set to frolicsome spooky music, first mommy hippo, Bibi, bites into a jack-o'-lantern, busting it open in one chomp, before the nearly two-year-old Fiona (born prematurely in January 2017) totters over to munch on the remnants.

Fiona is enjoying the fall treat so much she gets just a little too close to the edge of the rocks and topples into the water.

The zoo captioned the video:

"Trip-or-Treat. Don't worry, the plump princess was just fine. Baby hippo Fiona slips into the water while devouring her Halloween Day pumpkin."
