dee yannie excuse me... Mer-pig?!?! It's a hippo... Also known as a little Elephant mixed with a Piggy! So.... ITS A ELEPIG! If it weren't named a hippo..... But.. It's not ELEPIG :(
I have ALWAYS loved hippos! Adult or baby, doesn't matter. I've loved them since I was 3 or 4 years old (in my mid 30s now). ❤🦛😍 I have always loved most of all how they wiggle their ears 😍😍😍🦛🦛 So for me, when all this happened, when baby Fiona was born, I was already hooked just on the basis of it being a hippo... then Fiona totally charmed me on her own merit. ❤🦛❤🦛❤🦛❤
imagine baby Fiona running towards you for some cuddles and you're like "awww let her come" , and this 100+ kg cutie pie breaks some of your bones worth it!
Shawn Johnston I worked with animals for a while and it’s great! But sometimes they don’t pull through and it’s heartbreaking when they die. So if you do work with animals just be ready for the one that won’t make it.
I love seeing Fionas biography! So much work, dedication and love for this beautiful little hippo. It really took a village to raise this baby. And what an opportunity for us humans to learn from her. Also an honor for the rest of us mortals to be able to see all this film of this incredible creature ❤️. Love Fiona!
I was thinking the same thing, you can see how dedicated they are to her, they really worked hard to help Fiona thrive. You can see how passionate they are about their jobs and about Fionas welfare, its a wonderful thing
Why would anyone give this video a thumbs down? I am not a huge fan of zoos but they are helping to save some animals from certain death and even extinction in some cases. Yes there are zoos throughout the world that should be shut down but Cincinnati isn't one of them. They put in so much dedication to saving any animal they can. Man has made a mess of the animal kingdom from over hunting, poaching, illegitimate sales, deforestation...I could go on and on so it is up to man to help these animals come back and that is what this zoo is doing. I love Cincinnati Zoo. Great job and great people saving animals. Ty ty ty!
I have been watching her videos since the birth. Though it is thousands of miles away and I will probably never have a chance to actually get to see her, she has and will always have a special place in my heart. Thanks to all the staff members for their dedication for this beautiful water sweet potato. She is growing up be just fitting the name princess Fiona..!!You guys are the best..!
OMG! Everyone caring for Fiona embody the best of human beings. Our kids need to watch this. And as for Fiona, just wow. Cuteness overload. That toothless openmouth made me cry! ❤ to everyone. Best to Fiona and all incredible animals.
I literally binge watch these!!! I just love Fiona watching her from birth I mean she's just such a sweety! Me and my daughter just have to come meet her!
Seeing the joy of the trainers/caregivers when they played with her, or were approaching and conquering a new milestone was EvErYThInG! Y’all are hero’s, and Fiona is adorable. Congrats on a job well done!
How rewarding it must have been to see her thrive! I want to say thank you to all those who spent countless hours monitoring Fiona ensuring she received the best care possible. Thank you for never giving up on her. Thank you for sharing her story on Facebook and RUclips. Without it, I would have never known her story and the amazing accomplishments both your team and Fiona have reached. Hippos are amazing creatures and your love and dedication saved one more!
Fee I'm not 100% that this is completely accurate information, but I saw a comment in one of the other videos that Fiona's mom had been put on a form of birth control to keep something of this nature from happening again:)
Love, love, love her sweet face...especially when she’s swimming towards the camera and her snout is so prominent like at 12:55. Cutie Patootie!! 😍#teamfiona
She has such a cute tongue. It was so cute when she licked the side of her tank. When hippos open their mouths I never noticed the tongue. I love seeing her sink and jump underwater. I wish I was that comfortable in the water.
She's so adorable you can see that fiona loves all her mommies and dad .she's running back and forth to each them like a little puppy just look at her running to them. She has such a beautiful personality you can't not loving her.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching all of the videos with Fiona. what a great crew at this facility. they should be very proud of their accomplishments. I have followed the story and just wanted to let you know how impressed I am, of your staff. You can truly see how much they love this baby and ya know Fiona knows too. she knows how much you love her too and that is the best thing ever. The reward is her being happy and healthy and I think you accomplished that for sure!
Fiona reminds me of when I would go to the Washington, D.C. zoo and watch the cute and adorable pigmy hippos spinning their little ears around and around . It made a big impression on me and was my favorite display.
Fiona is such a brave and courageous girl. She made it against all odds Fiona made it. Thanks to all of her Guardian Angels who worked around the clock with her. God Bless you all especially Little Fantastic Fiona
I had this big stupid grin on my face this whole video...You guys are the best! I'm in NY, near the Bronx Zoo and after seeing this and seeing how much hard work and dedication you all put into not only keeping Fiona alive, but getting her to thrive, it just really made my day. I'm sure she's huge now. She is a true miracle and without the staff being there for her 24/7 from day one, she wouldn't be here. Great job, everyone!!! That is true dedication. Thank you for all you do for all the animals at the Cincinnati Zoo!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Clearly I'm not the only one who LOVES that you take the time to document ALL of Fiona's little baby steps! Much appreciated!
ohhh how I love love this little Fiona , she is so adorable and gives me shivers just looking at her entire progression how I wish and pray she does well for the rest of her beautifull life ahead. I love you little one you are a Diva ! Yes Diva Fiona !! rocks. Cheers charleen.
Then they turn adult, still looking cute, with awesome gaping mouths...that are super dangerous! They can get to be 4.5 Tons (up to 9000 pounds!) and kill Lots of people in Africa & yet, their facade is Still cute.
Oh my gawwd. How utterly adorable is Fiona totally in love with this angel Thank you to all who have cared for her. Your love and dedication is amazing. I salute you all!!!
I been watching Fiona since she was born & i have to say she has the best team ever you all are amazing!!! 🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 may god bless you all for saving her life!
One of the most beautiful and lovely video/ story ever. The people and the team in this are just unbelievable, felt every word and sooooo happy Fiona is great.
This journey with Fiona was just so beautiful and amazing 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 Thank you to all of the very special wonderful people who came together and raised her and made her thrive!!! 😢 Yes I was teary eyed through all of the videos 😘😘🥰🥰
Omg watching Fionas videos from her birth on, I cried countless times! Happy tears, worried tears, fiona brought many emotions to me, shes such a miracle♡
Oh myy goodness !! Ive watched fiona before but ive never seen her birth videos, feeding schedules, changes in food amounts & bottle sizes .. im a marine lover but this little lady stole my whole heart and all staff efforts shows so much dedication you can see the love the staff has for not only fiona but their work . Fiona is what you call a gem...shes just so precious but at the same time a beautiful warrior!!! Great job guys!!! ... though i do have a question and maybe i will find my answer in future videos but HOW IS FIONAS MOM DOING!!?? I know staff has stated that mom was chewing up the food for fiona ... what is moms name ? obviously fiona gets her strong genes from her mama 😊
Ну до чего же Фиона милая, особенно когда она куда-то быстро бежит. Ну просто прелесть. 😍😍 Моя искреннея благодарность тем работникам зоопарка, что заботятся о этих животных. Доброго вам здоровья, добрые люди. Мирного неба над головой, а также любви и просто счастья. 😊😊👍👍
You people are awesome!! Just think that this wonderful creature would have died if it was born in nature but you made it and saved it! You deserve gratitude for what you are doing!
This is why real lives matter. People love. They hurt as well, but we all exist in a beautiful world. If no one helps, we dont exist. Thanks for all the support. And in covid-19, our world is crazy and changing. Dint forget EVERY LIFE MATTERS

Someone please explain why this mer-pig is so freaking cute. I've honestly never realized how cute baby hippos are until now.
dee yannie idk I said the same thing why is this hippo so cute I've never found a hippo cute lol maybe it's because I've watched her since birth
All baby mammals are cute!

And they help educate everyone on how precious and cool animals are and how they should be cherished and appreciated.

It’s only bots.
It is amazing how much they are like human preemies! Thanks for all your attention, and concern! Bless you all!

She's so cute when she pushed herself up to the surface 😍😍
She's adorable beyond words! 💞🦛💕 It's so cute that she has a lot of baby sitters 💕🥰
This is a very educational video, I feel privileged to be able to watch a hippo’s behavior so up close. Thank you all!
I love this story. I am very proud of this staff. I love her moving those feet to swim up.
Sooo adorable! The way she flutters hear ears lol and how she holds her front legs to glide in the water XD
Congratulations to each and every person in Cincinnati who helped Fiona survive and thrive!!
