Animals at Oregon Zoo Demonstrate Many Ways to Celebrate National Watermelon Day

Animals at the Oregon Zoo in Portland celebrated National Watermelon Day on August 3, with some of the critters devouring the fruit in one bite, others peeling it with their teeth, and some reaching into little windows carved in the melon.

This video, posted by the zoo on August 3, shows various animals – including elephants, lemurs, bears, bats, and more – eating watermelon. Credit: Oregon Zoo/@OregonZoo via Storyful
