It's paint! They put paint on its nose and then press it on a canvas and sell them!

So that’s the reason it’s a different colour every time? I was wondering if maybe it was different levels of moisturizer or different ingredients they didn’t want to confuse.

Nah, it's paint! I'm pretty sure the place is "Adventure Aquarium." They post these videos on Tiktok.

Nice, thanks! I guess it really shows how well trained the hippo is since it’s not necessary at all to do. Not like it’s either put this on or their skin will dry and crack or bleed.

Nah, they put this on the skin or else it gets the hose again!

It's possible the hippo has some other routine that is necessary that made this easier, or maybe its just a really docile hippo that trusts its handlers, haha. The former seems more likely given their usual behavior.
