Fiona the preemie hippo continues to work on two very important hippo skills: holding her breath and navigating underwater. So Team Fiona used an underwater camera to catch all the action. (via Lois M.)

But there’s more news for Fiona fans. The youngster spent some time visiting with her mother Bibi on Friday, one of many steps in preparation for Fiona’s eventual return to her mother and father. (via Sharon G.)

Fiona the preemie hippo took another big step today — into a much bigger pool. To help her prepare for life in the larger hippo enclosure, Fiona took a swim in one of the pools her mom and dad use, with the water level lowered for her safety. And Fiona continues to grow, approaching 150 pounds and downing 64 oz of formula five times a day.

Thanks as always to Fionaphile Lois M.

Fiona the preemie hippo enjoys a leisurely swim, when suddenly a ferocious crocodile invades her territory! With no thought for her own safety, our heroine subdues the interloper with one mighty chomp of her powerful jaws! She became so distracted she even forgot about her carrot!

Wait, did somebody say “carrot”?

Thanks to Lois M. and Gigi the cat lady for feeding our Fiona fix

Now at 130 pounds and still going strong, Fiona the preemie hippo is enjoying new experiences every day. Today it’s a garden sprinkler, which she finds good enough to eat.
