I love how the Zoo stands up for how they do their job. Anyone who thinks the Zoo staff would let any harm come to ANY of their animals doesn’t understand what being a Zoo Keeper means and needs to watch more episodes.
@@wormhole331 That is today's world, doesn't matter the topic. People without any education or qualifications think they know better than people who have dedicated decades to their craft.
You are absolutely right! Fiona will always be special… she fought so hard to survive from the beginning. It is hard to watch the bond she has with Bibi have some distance now but that is part of growing up. We all love Fiona but her bond with her keepers is far stronger and they will always do what is best for her!
I love how you all care so beautifully for your hippos and the professional and kind manner in which you address those who would question your care. Keep on doing all the amazing things you do and don’t mind the armchair zookeepers. 💚💚
The hippo keepers absolutely rock! This bloat is in fantastic hands and no one should have any worries whatsoever as the keepers have the expertise to handle this transitional period. We all love these hippos SO much! What a fantastic educational experience for us all💖💖💖
Thanks for the transparency and understanding. We all are so overjoyed for the bloat. It’s great as a fan to get these updates. Please keep them coming. Xoxo from Pittsburgh
I check for updates with my Vet Student husband every day. It all looks beautiful ❤️. We've been watching how Bibi and Fiona are interacting and it's just as it should be. Thanks to the fabulous keepers loving this bloat through all the changes!
I love Fiona and Bibi. And baby Fritz is so cute!!! I watched Fionas fight for life during her Intensive Care stage. So much love for all the humans who went above and beyond,because of their love and care, Fiona survived at least 3 times I saw it could of gone either way!!! Fiona is a true inspirational story of being born extraordinarily premature and yet now thriving! It is so awesome she is still with us 5 1/2 years later!
Thank you for the explanation. This family bloat has become so important to so many. The caretakers at the zoo have been wonderful from my perspective. My only question, when will the book of the “Misadventures of Fiona and Fritz at the Zoo,” be on display?😁I can just read it now. Sneaking Fritz out upon his insistence to meet all Fiona’s friends.❤️🦛❤️🦛❤️🦛❤️🦛❤️🦛❤️🦛❤️🦛❤️🦛
I've loved watching these interactions since the sibs we're introduced. Really glad they have the opportunity to experience it in a zoo environment. Thank you for your work!! 🦛❤️
@@titanosaurdy9493 thanks ranger rick... yeah they're WILD animals and they're dangerous, we get it. We didn't need you to remind us. Adult wild animals can be cute too and have "cute" visual features, not just the babies. What was even the point of your comment? 🙄
@@titanosaurdy9493 why though? Why on MY comment? Why can't I call a wild animal cute without someone like you coming around every single time to remind us it's a dangerous animal? It's like me commenting on how fire is cool to look at, then you come along and say that fire is dangerous if it touches me, or like me saying I love drinking water and then you come along and remind us that we can drown in water. Seriously. Gtfo.
✨ Yesss That's Mom ✨ I gotta hand it to Bibi , she's doing well as a mother sense's before mistakes, Every step takes One day at a time ( Timing is perfect all mothers out there knows when to give the Green light for siblings to fully connect 😄 Thanks Zoo team for the calming update ✨
Thank you for the update about BiBi, Fritz and Fiona. You gave an excellent explanation about their behavior and lifestyles. That little Frisky Fritz is such a cutie pie! Thank you very much, dear Caretakers. A bloat, sounds like a trivia question, and now I know.
Thank you for that fascinating explanation. You folks are the experts and people need to let you do your thing. It is awesome that we all love this sweet family so much. Fiona is such a wonderful girl and baby Fritz is adorable! I'm glad Bibi is such a wonderful caring Mommy.
Fritz and Fiona are now my favorite hippos. Thanks for the update. It's imposible for me to think that hippopotamus are the most deadly predators in African rivers, but they are. Nevertheless, I love Fiona's family. All of the zoo's caretakers are awesome. Thanks for taking care of all of the animals.
Thank you so much for presenting this video and information. We have confidence in your caretaking, but it's nice to be reassured things are going well. ♥️♥️♥️
Like Jenna is explaining. This is perfectly normal. The fact that they're in a control environment ( a Zoo enclosure ) doesn't mean that they will not act differently. It's a natural behavior, Bibi is as protective of Fritz as she would have been if Fiona would has not been born prematurely and raised by the keepers instead of her mother. The Zoo is handling things with the best knowledge
So VERY Interesting. !! And enjoyable ...didn't know Fiona had a scratch.....! All perfectly normal as you say YALL ARE SO WONDERFUL ..BLESSED ANIMALS BEAUTIFUL ZOO& HABITATS.....SO HAPPY 🦛HOPE to come visit one day......💚🦋from TEXAS
I'm living in Europe (Germany) -so I don`t know if I'll ever be able to visit your zoo. But if I ever come to America, Cincinnati Zoo is definitely at the top of the list of places to visit. I'd come to love Fiona and Fritz, Bibi and Tucker very, very much. And I want to say a great compliment and a great thank you for the fabulous work you, the caretakers, do. I can see how good the Hippos are feeling when they're interacting (a little quarrel here and there surely is absolutely natural) and how much they enjoy your cuddles. It's so much fun , for us watchers as well as for the Hippos , when you feed them their salad. I think their enormous "mouth" is a kind of combined organ for feeling , tasting the other hippos. All in all and again: I`m very grateful for the fantastic caretaking you're doing to give this Hippo family a life worth living. Sure all the caretakers of the other animals are just as good and devoted -and I'm a very big fan of sweet porcupine Rico. Is he still doing well, too? Kind regards, and my very best wishes - - - Mart from Berlin
People don't like to see animals fight, but come on people. Hippos can take alot of superficial damage with no problem. They are hippos. Basically tanks
JENNA YOUR THE BEST AT EXPLAINING THINGS AND TO SOOTHE EVERYONE MINDS! I’m a retired Veternarian Technician and everyone can take me to heart. Jenna and her team know exactly what they are doing! Not so sure about camera operator according to some things I have read and seen. But take in to consideration that working a camera is not their real job. Their real job is for caring for the bloat! Being a camera man not in the job description or training! This entire Zoo of caregivers are amazing! ❤️❤️❤️ The Zoo is Awesome!
Great job. I think folks just got so enamored of Fiona that she became the special one, while Bibi is responsible for caring for all her calves equally and according to hippo protocol. Fiona, by necessity, got wrapped up in human/hippo protocol, and folks are used to that. But it sounds like the staff there have everything under control. Thanks for the update.
BRAVO Team Cincinnati Zoo! Humans, stay in your lane, especially all the couch veterinarian’s. These are experts, this is what they do. Give gratitude and funding over unwarranted criticism.
Oh, I guess that is Tucker that's standing up for her. She's our baby and yours especially, all the time and love like Mother's, I am confident your are on top of this!
Fiona’s story is so heartwarming & powerful. Bibi is a wonderful mom to her & Fritz, the gorgeous hippo calf. Stop being jealous Miss Fiona- we still love you!!!😝 And thank you Cincinnati Zoo for keeping us in the know. After what you did for Fiona, we know you take good care of your animals.🦛❤️
Just checking into see this absolutely LOVELY wonderful ZOO ..have heard about you all my life 🌎 Renown Zoo... everything looks great darling hippos ...🦛🦛💚💚💚🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌎💕💕💕💕
I know you all love them more than all of us. I saw how Fiona was introduced to her Mom, when she opened her mouth fir her I knew it was fine. That is a very peaceful family. They are all being watched carefully.
I feel bad you guys have to even explain that. People need to realize that the hippos (and all animals at the zoo) are being taken care of by professionals. And as cute as they are, they’re animals first. We got to stop human-izing them and how they act because they don’t act like humans.
Hello, I just binge watched everything Fiona! I have a question. I know she is still young, will she grow to be her mother's size? Or because she was premature, will she be smaller? I know most times (but not in all cases) you can't tell when humans adults were born prematurely. Thank you so much for including us in Fiona's journey!
Fiona will always be a small hippo because she was born premature and never reach her mothers side. She is most likely not grow much bigger then she currently is but you never know!

And remember how the World came together to save Fiona💕. I have Faith in what they're doing!!❤ #BloatHeaven#
It gets annoying seeing comments from people who think they know better than professionals on pretty much every TH-cam video.
@@wormhole331 That is today's world, doesn't matter the topic. People without any education or qualifications think they know better than people who have dedicated decades to their craft.
@@newfoundmoralclarity even worse than that people these days seem to believe their opinions are facts
Exactly
Oh my word. Look at how this team took care of Fiona. So how could anyone think they aren't taking care of Fritz or they are overlooking Fiona.
Right? Great job team! Let's do it again with the next baby!🥰
You are absolutely right! Fiona will always be special… she fought so hard to survive from the beginning. It is hard to watch the bond she has with Bibi have some distance now but that is part of growing up. We all love Fiona but her bond with her keepers is far stronger and they will always do what is best for her!
Please people, the exceptional keepers at this zoo know what they're doing. Trust them & the hippos. They know how to raise & protect their young.
Thank you for reminding us of how hippo moms in the wild behave, and that what we are seeing is very natural. You all are certainly doing a great job!
I just love Fiona and Fritz. Thanks for showing them love
Thank you for explaining so well. I check in on the precious hippo family through your channel daily!
I love how you all care so beautifully for your hippos and the professional and kind manner in which you address those who would question your care.
Keep on doing all the amazing things you do and don’t mind the armchair zookeepers. 💚💚
You guys are doing great, getting them accustomed to each other. Keep up the great work!
Normal hippo behavior, nothing to worry about. Little Fritz looks happy & healthy, as they all are! 💟
Great job you do with them. It's so wonderful to watch them integrate up close and personal.
The Hippo family are so amazing. Thx to everyone who works so hard helping them to have a good life.

Adorably deadly

Bless their hearts. They're so precious ❤️. I wish I lived in the US so it would be easier to come visit this beautiful family. Absolutely beautiful
How wonderful to see people like you and your colleagues so compassionate, and dedidicated.
God bless you all for all your hard work, love and wonderful care you give to all the animals!!🥰🥰🥰
Thanks for your love of animals.
Wonderful educational video. Thank you! Aren’t we all lucky that these hippos live in clean water? The teach us so much. 💕
