    I was so happy when I saw Fiona stand the first time . Her wobbly little legs . I knew then there was a strong chance . Cincinnati children’s hospital was a huge help . Thank you very much . I have a granddaughter who loves animals . I told her I’m going too turn her onto these videos . I told her I’ll make zoologist out of her . She a middle school student. Thanks again.

    So amazing.....came across Fionas birth videos. She is very precious and you guys did an amazing job taking care of her. It actually took a village to get her to live!

    11/8/23...I never knew about Fiona n watched the 5 videos from her birth to finally being united with her parents. Bless the whole team, including Children's Hospital. It's truly amazing to see these Hip-Mer's in such a beautiful containment. Soooo glad that these videos have made mega $, so as to help Cincinnati Zoo continue to improve, educate their team & evermore care for all the creatures that is a healthy way for many of us would prefer to learn from vs being attacked at a actual site where ppl have been killed due to Hippos not appreciating the too close presence of humans. Bless everyone involved. 🙏

    Awesome that you are putting this out for us to view. With schools closed and curious kids home it’s refreshing to be able to show them this and go through questions and take this opportunity to engage them to learn in a different way. Kudos to the team at The Cincinnati Zoo for continuing to engage our community through this uncertain time and for bringing the zoo to us!

    Awesome. I'm loving these videos. I'm from Dayton, lived in Cincinnati in the late 80s. Haven't been to the zoo in many years. You all are doing a wonderful job. Can't wait to visit the zoo again.

    I think I've watched almost every video of Fiona the Phenomenon and I fell in love the very second I saw her... I've cried, laughed and had heartfelt moments where I just put both hands against my heart and wished like hell that I was one of her caretakers... i applaud you all and every single one of you are heros! Stay blessed and safe LOVE YOU FIONA and keep being amazing. My new favorite as well as unique celebrity. 😊😊😍😍❤❤❤❤❤

    I’ve followed Fiona’s story since day 1. I’ve absolutely fallen in love with her and have been so impressed with the dedication and love the zoo staff went through to help Fiona survive and now thrive. I hope we can visit later this Fall to finally see her in person. Thank you Cincinnati Zoo for all you do to keep the animals healthy and happy.❤️

    FIONA is so friendly, and cute. She loves to go very close to the glass, so she can see all of the people, and they can get a good look at her. The keeper gave out a lot of important information about hippos. It is nice to see her grow up, and she looks so happy being with her mom.❤

    Stupid little criticism but was anyone else thinking “please give patient mama Bibi some lettuce, Fiona is getting it all” 🤣😂🤣
    Looks like Fiona is giving her mama Kisses on her “cheeks”
    How do they keep the food in their throat? It looks like it would be obstructive! 🤷‍♀️

    Question: I’ve been a horseback rider most of my life and have subsequently, owned many over the years. I saw you feed Timothy hay, but as far as ruminant feed, is it a loose alfalfa Chaff or more like mix/sweet feed with molasses, oats and cracked corn? Or is an extruded feed? I can see they like beet pulp as do horses!
    Finally, how many kilos of hay do they eat daily?
    We fell in love with hippos a little more when we discovered Fiona!!
