LMAO, the zookeeper's disappointment is absolutely hilarious. Cracked me up.

Son of the stud…..is a dud.
This was a lovely story, the keeper is unintentionally hilarious and it just brightened my day.

“He’s sharing his food with her. He knows what he’s doing.”

[skeptiwolf]

The zookeeper lives vicariously through the stud.

Peter has a very dry sense of comedy, and I love it, haha

"Basically, he's terrified that a whole 'nother world has just appeared on the other side." Sounds like me graduating college.

Poor guy has to go on a date with his dad's mistress 😂

[susansusan]

😂😂😂😂😂😂
He took one look at her, threw sand at her and took off…. That told me a LOT !!!!

[matronarules]

Came for the stud, stayed for the zookeeper. 😂 Cute creatures both of them!

[lendial]

the zookeeper's energy and devotion to the little shrews is absolutely delightful

[dumbitcngh]

they could make a whole reality tv / drama out of this and i'd be way too invested.

[PaperMario]

Aww. He’s not “useless”… just a bit shy 😊

[kored]

"digging a hole won't help"
just as true when it comes to human dating.

[robinmccoy]

What a curious and adorable little creature!!!

[sharonkaczorowski]

Evolution clearly has a sense of humor. What a cute little critter. Scared of locusts…too funny. I can see why they have to weigh her…she’s so round.

[robinmccoy]

Everyone knows it can be impossible to perform under pressure....😊😊😊

[catpoke]

The way it shows the text "The stud" and it proceeds to show this little fuzzy thing rolling in sand lol

It looks so dramatic for something so not dramatic

1:08 instant replay of the stud’s thunderous roar and battle stance. you’re welcome

This was a delightful story. I wish we could have more videos about the life of these unusual critters.

No wonder we have the old saying Elephants are scared of mice..
It's cause they didn't want to hurt their cousins 😂
