Zoo Animals Go Viral for Their Take on the TikTok Pumpkin Head Challenge
Everyone else can give up, because these little guys are taking home the grand prize.
The zoo animals have won this round.
Drusillas Park, a zoo based in the UK, shared an adorable video on TikTok of some of their residents participating in a viral TikTok trend, and there's no doubt in anyone's minds that they've done it best.
"Our animals wanted to try the pumpkin head challenge," text written over the video read, referring to a trend on the social media app in which people cut out a hole in the bottom of their jack-o-lanterns and wear them like a mask or costume head, usually set to a snippet of "Oh Klahoma" by Jack Stauber.
The zoo carved out the backs of their pumpkins, too, and strung them up to avoid stressing the animals out; instead, they got to come and investigate on their own time.
They had a wild cat that was curious, yet cautious, a capybara that was a little more interested in snacking than scaring (as was the beaver), a very interested primate, and a goat that needed a little help.

Everyone agreed that no one else need bother attempting the challenge; this wouldn't be topped.
"I was prepared for chaos and not cuteness and now I’m crying bc this is just the cutest thing I have seen today 🥺," one TikToker said.
"the fact that you can see the thought that went into the method makes this video all the better🥰🎃-," one commenter pointed out.
"I admire the huge dedication and time this must have taken 😂," another wrote, to which the zoo replied, "You’ve just made our marketing team’s day with that comment… took a LOT of planning 😂"
The capybara seemed to be the favorite, with one viewer writing, "Capy slay💅💅."The zoo later granted several wishes for a wallpaper of the capybara by uploading a cropped version of the video, so that fans could take a screenshot of their favorite pumpkin x animal combo without logos or text to get in the way.
Clearly, they know what the people want.
