Now that she’s growing up strong and getting used to her family, baby Fiona is turning into a bit of a brat. Mama Bibi just wants to enjoy a meal in peace, but her darling daughter wants attention — and throws a head-waggling tantrum to get it.
It’s official! Fiona is the world’s sassiest hippo ever! Here she is inside pestering her mom Bibi while she eats. ???? pic.twitter.com/6dRXzvDDHL

Can’t see video? Try viewing on Twitter.
Does this mean her age is comparable to the terrible twos?
I think Fiona is trying to tell Bibi she doesn’t want to share the foods. Bibi doesn’t pause her chomping, not for one second.
Can’t get enough of seeing these two reunited.
mom .. Mom .. MOm… MOM .. DAMN IT MOM PAY ATTENTION TO ME !!!
Won’t play for me. 🙁
ACK! Try viewing it on Twitter here.
I went to the Cincy Zoo site’s Fiona page and watched it there. Seems like the same twitter link; I don’t know why it wouldn’t work from here. It just said “Media could not be played.”
Fiona can come join me for lunch. Playing with a baby hippo’s gotta be better than anything the cafeteria might be serving..
Just back from the cafeteria; can confirm prior statement.
What a glorious temper tantrum, all that was missing was Fiona dropping to the ground and kicking her feet! ??
Don’t give her any ideas (Snickers)
Hippo kibble! Fiona’s such a little sass!
Fifi thinking: don’t make me stop this car.
Oh, dear. I hope her fame hasn’t gone to her head. I’d hate to see her end up like some of those other child stars.
Yes, they burn out too young and turn to the bad! I can see her all goth with tats and piercings, and smoking heaven knows what and staying out ’til all hours.
Searching for “punk hippo” also found me this cool ring:
And this steampunk hippo:
Both of which I now want.

I got this!
Wait, it was supposed to be a picture!
Was this the picture?
Egad, now I get it. I was wondering why in heaven’s name a hippo would need a sleeping bag?.
Yes!
As someone who works with toddlers, I can assure you that our dear little Fiona is s talented tantrum thrower! 😀
