I mean if this turned into a whole thread of more videos of pets/animals eating watermelon, I don't think anyone would be mad or upset about that.

I could watch capybaras do anything for hours. This is good.

I am concerned that not enough dogs are eating watermelon. More dogs eating watermelon please.

Capybaras are probably thinking "why aren't the humans chowing down on this sweet watermelon?"

I'm laughing at the dog watermelon eating contest video and the guy's narration. These are so awesome and made me smile, thank you!

That first dog kept making me laugh (just like the owner), though Iโ€™m not sure why. The daintiness, maybeโ€”using those little front teeth so delicately to nibble in tidy kronches.

If we're going to talk capybaras, let's talk capybaras luxuriating in Japanese hot springs.

All my cats and dogs growing up loved melon (canteloupe was their favorite). Current cat likes mustard, garlic, and caesar salad dressing. So strange.

I am going to save most of these for when I really need them but if any of them are dog-eating watermelon instead of dog, eating watermelon I will find you and I will not feed you watermelon.

My personal favorite has been hippo eating watermelon. I was pretty sure I found that on metafilter originally, but a quick search didn't turn up any previouslies.

My cat likes watermelon but wonโ€™t actually bite into it. He erodes it with his tongue as if trying to drink it.

Quality Content.

I've never seen a dog eat a treat so daintily as that first one!

I'm waiting for foosnark to show up and talk about his cat, Kyoko, who loved to eat watermelon. When we were roommates it was a pastime of ours to feed her watermelon whenever we had it out.

Alas, we have no video of it. It was a different time.

hippo eating watermelon

I posted a slightly longer video a while back, so that may be where you saw it, Lirp.

My favorite Decemberists lyric:

With the roar of cars
And the lowing of the capybaras


Oh, wait. I've been informed it was really "the lolling of the cafe bars." Also, I guess capybaras don't "low" like cows. Carry on.

Watermelon resists Cat
Watermelon stands up very well to red-hot nickel ball; I'd expect it can handle a kitten

I...I have never offered my dog watermelon. Am dog-mom failure. Will need an Ask to deal with this.

You've never seen slobber unless you've seen a mule eat a watermelon.

Inspired, here are my 3 mannerless dogs eating watermelon. They do not nibble nicely, but take the biggest chomps possible and try to pull the whole slice out of my hand. All 3! Ruthless.

It took me a few weeks but I finally got a watermelon for my dog.

(Note: there are two videos, though instagram makes the little next-video arrows hard to find.)
