We haven’t heard from our favorite hippo Fiona in a while, and so our resident Fionaphile Lois M. brings us a new episode of The Fiona Show, a behind-the-scenes series about Fiona’s life and growth. In this installment, Fiona undergoes special training that will help her stay calm when her care team needs to draw blood for testing, something that can only be done from her tail. Patiently, her care team uses treats to teach Fiona not to be scared of a little poke from behind.

Through the brackish emerald waters of the Weeki Wachee River, the hungry alligator glides unseen. Molded by eons of evolution into an invisible assassin, only her eyes peer through the carpet of algae on the river surface, giving little notice of her approach. Soon those eyes locate their prey: a succulent young fawn, oblivious to danger as it drinks near the water’s edge. Wasting no time, the cold-blooded predator swims silently toward the innocent creature, and with one violent lunge, her powerful jaws drag the clearly inferior beast to an agonizing death with thrashing and screaming and lots of blood and body parts flying everywhere! Ha-HAAA! CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP! Take THAT!!!
