Never considered a hippo to be an intelligent or affectionate animal. Fiona changed my thinking. What a beautiful beast! Wishing you a very long and happy life Ms. Fiona.
@Su Ri Hippos aren't predators.... They are dangerous because they protect their territory and offspring... They are vegetarians and don't prey on anything in the wild.
well its not even a hippo...is a PIGMY hippo of course...its like..baby hippos are ridiculous....but this is the miniature form...like imagine kitten kittens....thats what this is...bird birds playing on their backs...That....

Не перестаю удивляться животному миру!!! Какие они все милые, спасибо всем кто так любит животных. Ужасно захотелось самой залезть в этот бассейн к этому очаровательному малышу.Люди будьте добрее.

Nah. They’re adorable but make the messiest dog look like a neat freak. No thanks on cleaning up after one! I’ll enjoy a trip to the zoo instead (I live less than 45 minutes from Fiona :) ).
Wow! I was having a lousy day and happened to pick up my phone and see this. What an uplifting video. How cute is that, a baby hippo playing like a plump puppy, very endearing. If only they stayed this size and temperament, I'd have a heard of them. Thanks for this video, I needed it 😉✌️
idylle♡doll - They’ve said before she feels rather gross, like soft sandpaper covered in nasty dog slobber. I’ll enjoy from a short distance away, lol.
I don't think so. Sooner or later, they'll have to get separated from each other, because it will grow up hugely and may become a risk to their own lives. Imagine the bonds you create with those animals, just to, at the end of some years, have to say goodbye to them.
First hippo I’ve seen smiling. I guess she learned it from the amazing team who helped her survive and thrive. Congrats to all! You are truly wonderful!
Can't believe that she is all grown up now. I've been watching her from the Beginning and Fi you have got me through some tough times!!!! Keep up the good work guys!!
Plus, how they use their sh*t as a defense!! They 💩 and use their tail to smack it and spray it all around 🤣 When she got in the pool.... I was dying 😭 but OMG how cute this is!!!
We have to do all we can to protect Fiona and all others of her species! Thank you for sharing this video with us, Cincinnati Zoo! And bless all of you on her care team for your service.
She's so precious, I could kiss her all over. The way she gets on w/ her caretakers. She has no fear. I commend all those people that came together to give this little one a fighting chance at survival. Time well spent. I have NEVER heard of a premature birth in hippos. I am so happy she survived w/ the world class care given her. She is absolutely precious.
Oh Fiona playing in that pool when she was a baby is so adorable! What a face she is a doll and I'm just glad that I can have these clips to look at she's making my day!
Falling asleep under water!! That was seriously cute. She's full of joy and very precious. I wonder if she will remain so trusting with humans when she is an adult.
This is so precious guys absolutely beautiful. Thank you for posting it. It amazes me how much you guys put into the lives of these babies. So much work that we don’t get to appreciate. Thank you for all the love you all pour out into these tiny lives. Fiona is one beautiful hippo and it’s all about the love you’ve given her. Amazing babies amazing staff😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍. God bless you all 💜
Just watching her be so playful and attentive to her caregivers who do such a fabulous job with Miss Fiona is so heartwarming 🥰😍. If you’re having a bad day and just need something to make you smile, this is the perfect video. 😊☺️💙💚
Fun fact- Henry her dad is from Springfield, MO. Dickerson Park Zoo. He came to the zoo at 7 months old and lived until he was euthanized at 36 years old. He was moved from Springfield to Cincinnati so he could breed BiBi. He has a cute little memorial at the Dickerson Park Zoo.
I remember when you were this small we were hoping that you going to get big and strong and look at you today Fiona you are amazing and very determined little hippo thank you so much for sharing the big memories of little hippo Fiona
I love hippos they are so intelligent and beautiful, most people I talk to think otherwise and it really does bother me that they just assume things by their looks
Had videos like these existed when I was a kid (70s/80s), I KNOW, for certain I'd be bathing baby hippos or chimps or girrafs or something for a living today 😂.
This has to be my favorite Fiona video yet❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you so very much for all your hard work and all the love you gave and continue to give! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@Doodle Boi The hippo is the most dangerous animal in Africa. Alligators and lions stay out of their way so they are not killed. Hippos are also surprisingly fast over a short distance. So humans tend to be a bit overconfident: So if the hippo thinks you are a threat their rush against you will come as some surprise.
They need to be in their natural habitat....nature WILL rage war against your kind for the way you people treat nature...the sun is getting hotter and that's just the beginning....poor animals.
How can you fall in love with her. The keepers had a great job, but a hard one. 24 hour care. Such dedication. This is where my love for them came from. She is precious and a Gift from God.
Her ear wiggles make me giggle - she's absolutely adorable.
Beautiful Baby
Yeah i like that too..so sweet.

All animals are intelligent and can be affectionate. This one is lucky its out of arms way of the mindless poachers.

The humans in this video have the best job in the world.

Thank you for your true love of animals, she wouldn't be here without you, and so many others!
You can see she loves the attention and loves to play with the workers. She's adorable. A cute hippo, who'd of thought?
Just watched this as it showed up in my newsfeed. Brought tears and a smile to my face. She has come so far!
Thanks guys. You did an amazing job saving her when she was born prematurely. She's one of the most beautiful animals I have ever seen.

Not a dull moment in the nursery. So good to see positive relationships between animals and humans. 😊
It's MARCH 2020 and Fiona is probably a big force to be reckoned with by now.
ik, shes probably fighting with crocodiles now
Yes very... Her mouth is probably a hydrologic press by now...
I love when Fiona wiggles her little earbies. It's so stinkin' cute.

Fiona is a precious little girl. She is probably huge now.
She is 3 years old now, still smaller than her mum, she won't be mature until she's at least 5 years old.
She has "3 years old" video. U can find him in this channel
“They’re only dangerous when they blow bubbles and wiggle their ears.”
Which just makes them even more cute.
I see you too have been on the Jungle Cruise.
Dangerous then the lions
Kill you with the cuteness?

She is adorable. Thanks for saving her
