Throw Mama a Kiss, Fiona

Not That Mike The Other Mike9 Comments
Every day is mother/daughter day for Fiona the hippo and her mother Bibi as they play together at the Cincinnati Zoo. And just when she was a plucky preemie learning to swim, Fiona loves to give love bites. But now that she’s almost 1,000 pounds and getting her teeth, Fiona reserves her love nibbles for mama, and seals them with a kiss.
