Fiona - baby hippo (preemie born at zoo)

 

Just curious if anyone else has been following baby Fiona at the Cincinnati Zoo.  She was born premature, and the staff at the zoo has been taking care of her since she was born in January.

(And, they have youtube videos of her as well.)

 

She makes me smile everytime I see her.  Maybe she'll bring you joy, too.  She's doing very well, thankfully!!!!

No, I had not heard of this adorable little hippo as I have been consumed with April...for months....

Thank you for sharing Smiley Happy

Her skin makes her look as if she is a big jelly toy!

What a great job done by the Cincinnati Zoo. Great photos and videos, as well.
