(NewsNation) —  Hippos at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden trick-or-treated early this year and showed off their pumpkin-crushing skills by munching on entire pumpkins.

A video released on X, formerly known as Twitter, by the zoo shows four hippos smashing the fruits with their jaws.

In the post, the zoo wrote, “It’s pumpkin-crushing season! Also known as Fiona, Fritz, Bibi, and Tucker’s favorite time of year!”

The zoo also posted a video of an elephant playing with a gourd.
