An adorable chunky hippo named Timothy has been spotted living his best life whilst being treated to a spa day.
In the footage you can see the huge mammal relaxing in its enclosure whilst being tended to by hundreds of little fish.
With closed eyes and a slight smirk, the fully-submerged hippo is clearly enjoying the pampering session.

Timothy, a 10-year-old Nile hippopotamus, often likes to take a snooze whilst the neighbouring fish get to work.
Due to the size and structure of hippos like Timothy they are unable to do their own skincare.
This is why these huge animals team up with fish such as the African cichlids that are in Timothy’s tank.
In the footage they can be seen eating the dead skin off the 3,000lb sleeping giant.
Workers at the San Antonio Zoo can never resist filming his famous spa day sessions.
