They truly are an amazing and devoted team! It's remarkable the positive impact this sweet little hippo bloat is having on the world. I feel blessed to witness it.
Thank you so much there are people like me who can't get out to see the zoos and I so love the hippos I did get to witness a hippopamp born back in the 70s in Oklahoma that was awesome ,again thank you for sharing 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Such a wonderful family to watch and fall in love with. Mama Bibi doesn't take her eyes off of Fritz. He is such a character, always ready to entertain us and his family. Great video! I envy ppl that can be there to enjoy everything the Cincinnati zoo has to offer. Thanks for sharing 💜✨🦛🦛🐾🦛🦛💜 We love you ♥️
It's not a problem of attention. Older siblings can sometimes be dangerous to hippo babies, either from too much too soon, or just plain violence, so Bibi acting squirrely around everyone is completely natural until Fritz is big enough and/or she is satisfied with their behavior around Fritz. Notice even Tucker is at a very respectful distance from them.
Wonder what their combined weight is ? Fiona is quite tiny against her massive family ! Nice to see they are happily sheltered and fed and given toys. Yes, they are happy hippos. The zoo keepers are doing a great job.🤗🤗
At 2:55 that's likely dad Tucker on the left, Fiona entering the cove on the right and little Fritz and Bibi still in the water. Amazing after almost six years Fiona isn't fully grown yet and is still smaller than her mom Bibi. All that crowd noise isn't doing those beautiful hippos any good. They need to limit how many are in there at once (I had to turn the sound off !) Seeing little Fritz love on his big sister is so cute. Dad Tucker just seems to back away and chill.
It's so wonderful to see the hippos. Have you ever thought that all that noise from people in the background gets frustrating for them? Is there ever a quite time besides when they sleep at night? Listening to all the talking while watching this video is a lot, I can only imagine what the hippos go thru. Besides that your a great zoo and take great care of your animals there.
You get the most incredible interactions of Fiona and her family! It's difficult to find any hippo social behavior on video so thank you so much for posting! Your insights about Fritz and Fiona are totally on point too.😆
I know right! Her skin has darkened and she has grown! I bet the hormones they have her on are doing that. She is an adult hippo now, but she's pretty sweet to Fritz seems like!
That's what I say. They should limit how many are in the hippo cove at a given time. I would like to go see them and maybe get lucky to have a picture taken with one of them but not with all the crowds there
So is that big one the daddy to these two? They have the whole family! If so that is really cool. Fritz and Phiona look very close. They look very happy and look how much joy they bring to people.
It would have been better to give these hippos names from their point if origin instead of western names. It would have been more authentic. That is why China gives their pandas Mandorin names before they leave China.

Watching you video made me realize that the exhibit size might not be big enough for 4 full grown hippos 🦛. The 4 sized as they are works but in a few years, someone has to go. 😢
One of the males, probably Tucker, will have to be moved as two grown male hippos will fight for territory and the keepers won't be able to defuse a dangerous situation like that. With Fritz being little, probably no problems for the time being but that will likely change.
@@ezioaltairac Yep him and dad will fight for territorial and mating rights so one will have to go when Fritz gets older. It was actually touch and go at the beginning. Father hippos won't usually harm their own but there's always the chance that they will as males kill other baby males.
It's amazing how much love and happiness these hippos have brought others. God bless the ppl who take such good care for these animals.❤️

I was thinking the same thing. And it started because of one premature hippo.
As far as I am concerned, they are the best thing on the internet right now.♥️♥️♥️♥️

Nice to see Bibi being chill for once with Fiona. Was really starting to worry about our poor girl if she was still getting attention from her mom

I can't get enough of this bloat, much less these sweet siblings! Just love them!

Fiona’s story was amazing however the addition of her baby brother Fritz adds so much ! Love this hippo family ❤
Awe, Fritzy still a lil baby.
Love him ❣️
What a cute 300 lb. bundle of joy. !!!!!🤗🤗🤗🤗

What incredible footage!!!!
Tucker, Beni, Fiona & Fritz - beautiful little hippo family 🦛🦛🦛🦛
Thank you for the video. I love seeing the family together. Hopefully one day I can go in person to see them. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

So much interaction today! Fun video!
Grrrr I bet that waters cold! Yes who would've thought Hippis could be so much fun!!
Thank you for the upload! That’s a very good video.
Love these guy!!! Thank you Cincinnati Zoo and staff!!
Fritz sure loves his sister!! 🥰🥰🥰
Wonderful viewing, everybody out and having fun. Fritz is adorable, hardly recognize Fiona.
I know right! Her skin has darkened and she has grown! I bet the hormones they have her on are doing that. She is an adult hippo now, but she's pretty sweet to Fritz seems like!
I loved this video of the Hippocampus and the wonderful Zoo too ❤ ♥ 💜 😊.
Seems he Babies are needing a nap 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Awww honey little Fritzy
Such am amazing family. Love them all. Fiona is such a great sister
Ooooooh I want to visit the Cincinnati Zoo 😭
I hope these poor hippos don't hear this racket every day.
That's what I say. They should limit how many are in the hippo cove at a given time. I would like to go see them and maybe get lucky to have a picture taken with one of them but not with all the crowds there
Love it!

Tucker Is Fritz Dad. Fiona's Dad Was Henry He Died Before She Was 1Year Old 😢❤
Fi looks like her skin has darkened quite a bit in the last few months and she's gained some weight. Guess the hormones are helping with that too!
Bibi be blocking Tucker...that's right stay away from my babies!
The area they keep this family looks to small….they definitely need more room…
Amazing.
Is their pool water heated in winter?
Yes. It's kept at least 65°F. The calfs are only outside of it's 40°F or warmer with the general temperature.
Man. I feel like Birmingham Zoo sucks balls when seeing this zoo!
😍😍
It would have been better to give these hippos names from their point if origin instead of western names. It would have been
more authentic. That is why China gives their pandas Mandorin names before they leave China.
By point of origin, at two of these hippos are native to Cincinnati.
That is the dumbest shit I ever heard. Authentic names for animals.

Does Tucker have acne, barnacles, or something else on his face?
I'm Very Impressed with your zoo. You put Canadian zoos to shame 😊😂

One of the males, probably Tucker, will have to be moved as two grown male hippos will fight for territory and the keepers won't be able to defuse a dangerous situation like that. With Fritz being little, probably no problems for the time being but that will likely change.
Fritz is leaving when he gets older. They said the bloat dynamics only allow for one male, and his dad already moved once to this zoo.
@@ezioaltairac do you know how old he needs to be to leave?
