      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!

    • @icewolf6062
      @icewolf6062 4 года назад +7

      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.

    • @wittyreviewer
      @wittyreviewer 3 года назад +3

      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.

    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!😂😂😂
