"World News Tonight" anchor David Muir shared a heartwarming moment at Tanganyika Wildlife Park , just outside Wichita, Kansas, that captured the universal language of maternal authority when an endangered pygmy hippo mom gave her reluctant baby "the look" – a moment that has since gone viral with over 45 million views worldwide.
The star of the show was Mars, a 6-week-old pygmy hippo, one of only 3,000 remaining in the wild. The viral video showed the young hippo refusing to leave his swimming pool at dinnertime, a scene many parents found remarkably relatable.
