From the young to the old, the story of Fiona has brought smiles and inspiration to people everywhere, and many of them make the trip to the Cincinnati Zoo to see the famous hippo in person. In this episode of The Fiona Show, the care team talks with Fionatics and asks them: What’s your favorite Fiona moment?

Time again for another episode of The Fiona Show, in which Fiona’s care team explores the reasons why hippos love to open their mouths and get sprayed by the hose. The constant water stream provides a gentle gum massage, and it gives the keepers a chance to check on their dental health, too. (via Lois M.)
Since her public debut, Fiona the hippo has become a selfie sensation, as Fionatics vie to get in the picture with the plucky preemie. But the most treasured of all are the very first, and in this episode of The Fiona Show, members of Fiona’s care team share their behind-the-scenes pictures with Fiona, and the stories behind them.
