I live in Tasmania, most southern state in Australia, and watched all the Fiona videos. Lovely. I haven't travelled to US to see yr zoos for quite a while, same for our Aust zoos. Loved the care and dedication provided to Fiona, even sharing knowledge with human neonate nurses! Inspiring.
Fiona is such a miracle. Thank you zoo employees for loving and caring for her. You have made her so lovable and precious to so many people who never thought about hippos.
I was so happy to see that even @ 3 y/o Fiona is still getting her mouth message. I keep reading how violent and aggressive hippos are in the wild. Fiona doesn't seem to be an aggressive hippo with the zookeepers, other hippos or zoo visitors. She's still the same cute, chill hippo we saw born 6 weeks premature. She's just so adorable!!! Her ear wiggle is everything!
She's probably been 'humanised'. Note, that's not the same as domesticated. Sanctuaries (Zoos count) often use techniques that allow animals to get used to being around humans without seeing them as food or a threat. This allows them to be used as ambassador animals to teach people about them and why they're important.
I can't believe that Fiona is 3 years old already. Thank you for the making it possible to watch this baby from time of birth. It has been a blessed journey. The keepers are the best in the world.
That brief time where he seemed to be getting better was him wanting to get to spend what time he had left with his mate and calf. May he Rest In Peace.
Words can’t describe how The Cincinnati Zoo Team have worked so passionately, lovingly and tirelessly to Nurse this beautiful soul that is Fiona ❤️into the world and the big( still growing ☺️) strong girl that she’s become 🦛
Ok.I finally figured our what my friend meant.She kept telling me that I "have a twin and that twin is a hippo". I thought maybe she was playing one of those goofy games on the internet. She finally told me to look Fiona up and I had to laugh. I was also born Jan, 24th and was 6 weeks premature. I think she is mistaken.The only thing I seem to share with Fiona is the vertically challenged and horizontally enhanced. And she definitely has MUCH cuter ears!😂😂😂
I love Fiona so much! Cincinnati Zoo, you did a fantastic job taking care of her! I'm from Cincinnati and I visit there and it's top notch all the way!!! 💜💜💜💜💜
Wow...three years old...and still a little cuddle bug. What an epic story. FIONA is the reason (one of the reasons) today's Zoo's are so very important. Thanks Cincinnati Zoo for your love and care of all the beautiful creatures you have....and the wonderful "life" of FIONA.
Happy Birthday Fiona! I am so happy to see that you are growing into the beautiful, smart and wonderful Hippo that you are today. Thank you to the team of experts who took care of Fiona while she was going through her crisis. May you all be blessed for the great work that you do.
I've binge watched and learned all about Fiona. The care and concern for her by the dedicated zoo staff, as well as Children's Hospital is amazing. Fiona is a miracle, and it is so good to see her as a big, healthy girl. ♥️♥️♥️
Amazing! Thank you for sharing Fiona's miraculous story with the world. Love seeing her happy and healthy. Looking forward to watching her continue to grow and mature.
I just LOVE this little chunker. She is such a goof ball. Living in northern ohio I still haven't gotten the chance to see these babes. Hopefully someday I can make it to the zoo.
Happy birthday Fiona!!!! Have a great birthday sweetie! I love you!! First you were small! but now look at you! have grown up so fast!! And being cuter every day!!! Cannot wait to see you again In this new year!!! Including the new habitats as well Keep up he great work guys making her strong and healthy ever since she came into this world!! And to help new generations to come! You’re nothing but a miracle child/hippo May God bless you and to Zoos and animals Everywhere!
Happy Birthday Fiona!! I can’t believe that tiny baby is already so big. Also can’t wait to visit again this spring. My son will immediately drag us to see her (Like he actually has to). 🥰
@@Javajavajav ,yeah, I probably should have mentioned that I'm old - meaning the only nature shows on pre-cable tv were mostly on PBS, sandwiched in-between English costume dramas and fund raising programs! LOL. 😅! Yup, no VHS, no DVD's, no podcasts in those days 😱, so all my notions about animals were cultivated in my youth (which is where my comment was dredged up from)! 🦕 🦖
I've been watching Fiona since her birth and the amazing job the Cincinnati Zoo has done keeping this baby healthy AND happy with her mom! I'm coming to Cincinnati soon.
I wish Fiona a belated happy and healthy birthday and many more. I remember a video from when you were tiny and have been thinking about you and the people looking after you and taking care of you. Thank you so much for the update video i love it it is so cute i know Fiona is big and strong now but she is still very cute. Thank you so much
Soy una enamorada de Fiona!!! Increíble su historia, y la dedicación de cada una de las personas que la cuidaron, la asistieron en su salud, la mimaron y prepararon para que fuera la Fiona Hipo mas Feliz del mundo 🥰. Porfa hagan una peli con su vida, única 🌈
I just love Fiona. She is so beautiful, and has such a sweet, and playful personality. I think the whole world has fallen in love with her. Everything she does is so amusing. When she photobombed the couple getting engaged it was so cute and funny. 💗🌸💗🌸💗🌸💗🌸💗 Happy Birthday Fiona 💗🌸💗🌸💗🌸💗🌸💗
She’s so entertaining to watch! She’s got quite a little personality!
We Love You, Fiona!
And Happy 3rd Birthday!

I think should be much happier in Africa than being in zoo
@@daviroza4700 She would not have survived in the wild
@@daviroza4700 wrong
She’s beautiful... so happy she turned out so healthy and happy.. just love her💜💜💜💜
That leg chomp at 0:13 is one of my favorite moments from those early days. Thank you for this beautiful compilation. And Happy Birthday Sweet Fiona!💙
Just wait until the next leg chomp lol
LOL looks like Baby Sinclair when she does that.
xtreme viciousness

Pygmy hippos are less aggressive than the common hippo.
Lookup Jessica the Hippo. It's all about the experiences they have when they're young.
Aside from this, it’s possible one reason they’re so aggressive (other hippos) is environment. What with having to deal with big cats and gators.
@@user-dw1lp9br1z Fiona isn't a pygmy hippo. That's a very different species. She was premature, that's all.

She looks so happy, what a beautiful hippo 🦛
Wish Henry could be there with Bibi to see Fiona grow up to a full grown Hippo.
R.I.P. Henry
That brief time where he seemed to be getting better was him wanting to get to spend what time he had left with his mate and calf. May he Rest In Peace.
Florp Le Borp oh has he past ? Sad news indeed :(

Fiona is still a ⭐!!
Her mama is a good mother. She's quite the Character☺.

I don't think I would have ever called a hippo "adorable" if it hadn't been for Fiona. She's 3 years older and still absolutely adorable!
She so active and acrobatic-ly! Love this lito gal! Im my mind, she will always b that cute baby hippo!
Happy Birthday to the Princess Fiona! We love you so much. So happy that you are doing well xoxox!!

Nice to see a show where the ladies don't have to diet. All have a lovely round shape the way hippos should.

Just beautiful !!!
Love u baby girl❤️
Fiona is beautiful greetings from Argentina🇦🇷🌺
Lovely to see her grown up quiet a bit, it was uncertain for a while . Also great that she was welcomed by the other hippos.
Dreez 76,
I know what you mean concerning the other hippos; who would've thought that hippos would/could be so maternal & paternal? 😀

Happy three years, Fiona! You’ll always be an adorable little baby to me.
She's still adorable as ever! Happy 3rd birthday Fiona!
I can’t get over how big she’s grown now. I have to visit Bibi & Fiona again soon now that she’s much bigger!
