The word “hippopotamus” comes from the Greek for “water horse,” so what could be a better treat for a water horse than watermelon? Well, maybe “water oats,” but that’s not a real thing so just enjoy Fiona take a few tentative nibbles on mama Bibi’s watermelon snack.
A tasty treat from Gigi the cat lady.
Aww…hippo family picnic!
It’s funny, I remember when I couldn’t tell Bibi and Henry apart, and now they look just as unique as humans.
Fiona seems a little dubious about the watermelon.
She is probably wondering why she gets the rind! ???
I like at about :35 where you can see someone toss her a piece of the sweet part.
In my head I was telling her “eat the red bits!!!”
Me too ha ha!
Henry’s voice (off-screen): “Don’t use your mother as a table!”
When it showed her chewing the melon, I said “good girl, Fiona” and tried to pat her on the head. The picture suddenly got larger and I got a good look up one of her nostrils. Silly sensitive iPad.
Everything Fiona does is cute. Even munching on a watermelon rind.
I think they should try a cantelope or honeydew for Fiona before those thick watermelon rinds.
I cannot even imagine how their attendance has jumped since Fiona went into the big pool
