Hippo Fiona Having a Whale of a Good Time - Cincinnati Zoo 

So, Disney wasn’t making it up. Hippos really are ballerinas.

LOLZ: that sprint around the pool to repeat the water zoomies. Every mom understands Bibi's body language. Thank you Cinci Zoo!

Bibi: Quit running by the pool! Fiona: But mom....

I imagine her saying "weee" everytime she does that. Makes it even better..

God ...She continues to be adorable....remember when she was afraid of the bubbles !

Fiona is channeling her inner dolphin!

This is priceless!! Her speeding around so she can jump back in and do it again is hilarious!😂😂😂

I guess this is the hippo version of the zoomies, or Fiona has just discovered high intensity interval training.

These Hippos are having the most fun anyone has ever had in Cincinnati 😅

She’s having such a good time! This may be the best video yet.

She thinks she is a dolphin lol

Her little trot in this video always makes my day.

Watch out Bibi, here she comes again. I wonder how often she lands on her mom when she's exceptionally energetic in there. Or if Bibi tries to tell her to SLOW DOWN!! Most quickly I've seen a hippo move. I love watching how she's grown from a baby who we thought might not make it to her super healthy exuberant young lady self now. Super kudos to her wonderful keepers.

She's so precious and really does look like a russet 🥔 Wow, Fi runs fast with her stubby self, so cute ♥️ Needs plenty hugs and kisses 😘

She is very energetic! I have never seen a hippo in captivity be so energetic?!

Fiona can run fast! She looks happy and healthy!

She is having fun, playing hippowhale.♥️😍

What a happy hippo! We're all grateful for the effort that was put into giving this girl a long, healthy life. 💕

Good to see Fiona is doing so well. I only recently learned about the videos of when she was born, and her first year.

And you ended the video why?? I was having a great time watching lol

I just kept hitting replay, she was being so beautifully silly! 💞 I can't decide which part I enjoyed more-Fiona pretending to be the worlds largest otter, or watching her run back to the other end like a little kid eager to climb to the top of the slide again😂❤ Fiona, you are a pure joy to watch 😘 Can you imagine how much fun she would have if she could take a field trip to a *real* pond?

I can’t get enough of this video. 😂😂😂

Awwww, Fiona is living her best life! Absolutely priceless. Thank you for posting this.🤗

That is pure, unbridled joy! You can see why their other name is Water Horse. ❤️

So adorable diving in / out enjoying like a child gettin out running to get in AGAIN! The little booger!! Lol such a blessing. ....!!! Such a miracle ..darling personality...happened on to "Fiona"💜💜💜🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

For being so big, they’re just so graceful! ♥️ ya just gotta love Fiona😎

I like how when she gets out of the water and starts running her hips wiggle back and forth, head held high as she is so full of herself, then she jumps back into the water and Bibi raises her head and shakes it back and forth like 'You go girl!'

Nothing puts a smile on my face faster than rewatching this video

Feeling her veggies this morning she is a hoot love love to watch her she feels great and clearly loves her surroundings Go Fiona 💕💕😂

Love ya Fiona!!!!! ♥️♥️♥️

Omg...how cute is she? So awesome to see her having such fun after her very rocky start in this world!! She is beautiful!!! ❤❤❤🦛🦛🦛

She’s such a happy, happy hippo. So cute. 🦛

She had such a bad start that it is beautiful to see her having so much fun

Its amazing how such a huge and heavy animal is so graceful in the water!

I remember watching her in the beginning. So, so glad to see her as she is now. Cincy Zoo, you are incredible!

It's amazing how far Fiona has come along in the last few years - back from when she was so small and scared just to walk on a ramp to go into a pool. How she used to have carers come into the pool with her to step in if she struggles to swim. And now she's flying! It shows how incredible and caring the team at the Zoo have been, right from the very beginning. I'm really sad that I'm based in the UK, I would really love some day to fly to Cincinatti to meet her.

That Hippo was HAVING the Time of Her Life ... Whoo-Hoo !!! ❤ 😃👍

Soo cute..absolutely love that sprint around the pool..she is so adorable and stubborn..well done Fiona💗

she is such a playful soul! adorable!

Didn't know you could feed Hippos *Coffee*

Hard to believe that big, healthy girl was a preemie fighting for life!! And then successfully reunited with her family ♥️🥰😍 such an amazing story...this hippo family is lucky to have such a dedicated team!

When she got out and ran, gosh that was hilarious and adorable.

What a happy hippo :)

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! Love how she runs to the other side like a little kid at the pool. ~db

She has grown so much but is still as playful as a baby

She's loves prancing around in the water cuz that's the only time she'll be able to jump that high and/or far 😂❤

Perfect form! So much power and grace! Fiona is ready for the Olympics! 🥇😍

This is so darn awesome...looks like she is having a blast!!!

I have watched this several times. And I still laugh, she is so adorable and Her mama BiBi is a typical Mama:) Fiona fan for life

One of her best videos. Pure Joy!

I just can’t with how adorable she is!! 🥰🥰🥰

This is priceless. She is part dolphin. Fiona is having so much fun.

She's having great fun in the pool. 💗💗💗

Fiona is the cutest hippo ever. ❤️❤️❤️

She's like a little kid having the time of her life. Gotta love it.

When Fiona comes over to the glass it’s like she’s expecting someone to be there to give her a high five.. ❣️

She is so graceful and fast!

That's one happy river horse!

Happy birthday, Fiona! We love your “It’s Bedtime, Fiona” book. It’s one of my daughter’s favorite!

Fiona is a national treasure ☺️

She's grown up to be such a beautiful girl. This is just adorable 🐬

Now that's a happy happy hippo

Hilarious!!! Thanks for posting.

Didn't realize hippos can have a fun time in the pool. Does this happen with other hippos or has Fiona created a new, fun thing?

That was sooooooo much fun to watch. Fiona’s exuberance is invigorating❣️❣️ I feel renewed 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Thank you Fiona

Wow! Fiona's got spring fever!

Very cool to see her running around, blowing off steam and all!🙂

Фиона и ведь не худышка,а плавает как торпеда :!!)))Прекрасная веселушка 🥰

Sooo adorable! So happy to see them having fun!😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘

Shes so cute runnin

Fiona is definitely feeling herself! She is still so precious!

This is my absolute favorite video! Watching her run back up the ramp is priceless. Love, love, love her!!!!!

You go girl, you make me smile

So precious! I loved seeing her run too! Just darling!

Ya never knew you needed “Fiona” videos in your life..... until you watch a few 🥲

Hippo Zoomies😂

So cute to watch Fiona having a great time...and mom Bibi is wondering what is going on with her baby:)

I'm not sure I've ever seen a happy hippo before. They're so famously aggressive and grumpy, it's nice to see them just have fun.

I’m going to keep this darling video close, when I’m feeling blue I’ll watch it again. Thank you Fi,❤️❤️

Omg that was so adorable. Loved when she ran across to jump back in. It was funny when her Mom tried to stop her. Priceless

Oh my Fiona flower is a ballerina she is so graceful and beautiful hello beautiful beebee take care

The mom is saying “Fiona I said it’s time to get out of the pool, don’t make me tell you again!”

Fiona is so funny and joyous! Thank you for this wonderful update on beautiful Fiona

Fiona running was the cutest part lol

Awww, I remember watching the videos of newborn baby Fiona cleaning to life. The caretakers nursing her 24/7

Fiona is the most adorable hippo I have ever seen.

Gorgeous

This looks like the hippo version of the zoomies. ❤️

This is one of the sweetest, most adorable things I have ever seen!

This is the kid at the pool doing exactly what she does -- dives in, swims, climbs out and runs to the diving board to do it all again. 😄😄

That is so cute. Love you Fiona.♥️♥️♥️♥️

OMG!! She’s HYSTERICAL!!

So graceful and playful!I absolutely love Fiona hippo,such a beauty!😁💖💕😘

She looks like a little kid running to go back on a water slide hahah so cute!!!!

Oh how l love that girl!

So awesome her story!! Thank you C ZOO & Childrens Neonatal Hospital..no words to describes how WONDERFUL you all are ..& that PRECIOUS girl knows it!! What y did for her..she is so intelligent...just unbelievable!! So happy!!!!

You have no idea how happy my 87 year old mother was to watch this video! We absolutely love Fiona and her extended family at the zoo. Hip, Hippo, Hooray For Fiona! (the title of a book!). Please support the Cincinnati Zoo during this difficult time while they are closed.

I think I heard her say “Yeehaw!!!” I love this girl ❤️

Oh my goodness she moves quick on land!
