Fiona’s Birthday Bubble Bath

Not That Mike The Other Mike4 Comments

Peeps, did we actually miss celebrating Fiona’s third birthday last January? Better late than never, and reader Murray C. shared this sudsy video of the plucky preemie and her mama enjoying a luxurious bubble bath! According to the Cincinnati Zoo, it’s completely safe for them, because they used a special soap made just for animals. In other words, it’s (wait for it) hippo-allergenic!

Our favorite hippo stars in a bedtime story

Fiona the famous hippo at the Cincinnati Zoo has already appeared in some engrossing books, but this latest read will put you to sleep. At least it’s supposed to, because it’s titled Fiona, It’s Bedtime, and it features the precocious preemie telling her fellow zoo residents to hit the hay. In this video, Fiona herself gets a private reading. (via Lois M.)
