      Omg, i SO agree. Was thinking the same thing after stumbling upon the Fiona series. Had NO interest in Hippos. Now I’m obsessed. I am an elephant, Giraffe and big cat freak as far as wild creatures go, but thanks to this educational videos , I want to learn all i can. The thing that is so interesting is the open mouth thing. The exploration. It’s wild

    I love how the staff "just wants her to have a "normal" hippo life"
    I'm happy she just HAS a life, THANK YOU for saving her. Shes pretty awesome. Never been a hippo fan but Fiona has
    completely captured my heart.

    Fiona. To repeat: The best show on the internet. And made better by her innocence. She has no agenda, has star power and doesn't care. She is "pure", the perfect counterpoint to the world the rest of us live in. She is beautiful, and it has been an honor to "know" her and watch her beat the odds and thrive. Vive la Fiona!

    -Whenever she opens her mouth my heart melts.
    -WHEN SHE JUMPS UP TO THE WATER'S SURFACE FROM THE FLOOR SDYDJFEKJWHJJD

You wouldn’t think following an animal you’ve never met would fill you’re heart so much. We drove from SC to see the fam. A week later Henry was putdown from his sickness.

    "An avocado covered in dog slobber." Now, that, I can relate to - ha! And my husband is wondering why I'm sitting here bawling. :o) I am going to miss Fiona SO MUCH when I don't get to see her anymore. There couldn't have been a BETTER TEAM for this ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME experience/challenge then Y'ALL! :o) Annette

      "When I don't get to see her anymore"? Oh no, you mean they're going to stop with the videos? I hope not! I could watch Fiona for a decade or more. She may look like an adult next year, but she'll always be Fiona, the very special hippo. She will always bring positive press to the Cincinnati Zoo and adoring and supportive fans. Short videos are very easy to make and Fiona's videos will keep the Cincinnati Zoo in the limelight as long as they are made :)

      Oh, I hope you're right! :o) I was just afraid we might not get to see her as much now that she's living with Bibi and Henry. I LOVE Fiona -- and those little EARS - ha!

    I'm so grateful for this phenomenal crew, all the love, concern, and effort (& public support) that helped this preemie to not only survive, but thrive ! What an amazing relationship that grew with her parents as well. I have a guess of what would top this ... when Fiona has her own baby ! I'd heard about Fiona, but, only now have I seen the series of videos. I will be sharing this at a time when we all need hope. We share one Earth, we need to nurture her, and care for each other and this large 'global family' that we all belong to. We Will survive this, and we Will thrive ! ,':*}

    My family survived Hurricane Irma, we are in Naples, Florida, we were 12 days without power, and 16 days without internet or TV. Needless to say, we were thrilled to get our "Fiona" fixes again, she is a STAR. But to be fair, we also missed our Baby Giraffe Taj fixes out of Animal Adventure Park in Harpursville, New York. Two wonderful babies that will both further educate and hopefully eradicate ALL poaching of Animals worldwide ! Thank you Cincinnati Zoo for sharing this emotional journey !
