Pygmy hippo baby at Kansas Zoo refuses to leave pool until universal 'mom stare'

Finally tonight here the son refusing to get out of the pool for dinner until that look from mom Tonight in Goddard, Kansas outside Wichita at the Tanganyia Wildlife Park a moment caught on camera That's now been viewed worldwide incredible 45 million times Meet Mars the endangered pygmy hippo who was born here at the zoo just six weeks ago Just 3,000 of them remain in the wild. His care team weighing him and with him around the clock. His mom Posey caring for him to Mars climbing on the rocks swimming getting bigger every day. And in recent days when it was time for Mars to stop playing and come

have dinner a moment that has now gone viral. So many parents kept her late. His care team trying to coax him out of the water to come in for dinner. Little Mars does not want to budge. Laying down, seeming to hold on for one more swim, running away and out of his care team's grasp. No luck. That worker Ellie sits down out of ideas

and then it's mom to the rescue. Posey turning back, giving her son a look what many are now calling the mom stare. And just watch Mars takes notice. He immediately stops playing.

That son gets out of the water and follows his mother in for dinner. The zoo documenting the remarkable and very relatable moment. And right here tonight.

David, welcome to the Tanganyika Wildlife Experience.

Matt Fouts, director of Tanganyika Wildlife Park.

It's incredible how just universal, you know, all different species seem to have that mom stare down. It's hilarious to see Posey do that with Mars every day when he does not wanna go inside. He loves outside and so it's a pretty hilarious thing to see.

And tonight, an invitation from that zoo to come see the hippo for yourself.
