Fiona the preemie hippo now weighs 317 pounds, which is the normal weight for a full-term hippo of her age, according to the Cincinnati Zoo. Fiona and her mother Bibi are making more visits to the outdoor pool where they bond and play together.

Yay, Fiona!
Love the Fiona barrel roll at 0:30 and I thought Bibi was also going to do one at 1:29 !!
That waterfall picture (in the zoo link) – what a lovely hippo she is!
Our little one isn’t so little anymore .. good for her and mom !
Watching Fiona underwater, I now know why Disney put them into tutus and why it wasn’t ironic.
Exactly!!
Yes! Aren’t they so graceful in the water – so good to see Fiona actually frolic! My mouth hurts from being stretched into a wide grin!
Fiona seems so happy being with Bibi!
You know, this may sound silly, but I am pretty sure I could recognize Fiona among a group of similar aged, size of hippos. Like, if a whole bunch of baby hippos were lined up for a group shot we have looked at her for so long we could probably pick her out.
