Back on 24 January 2017, Fiona the hippo was born 6 weeks early at the Cincinnati Zoo.

Nowadays she's a big, strong juvenile hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius), but it took a lot of love and caring to get her there – she's the smallest hippo born in captivity to ever survive.his Video of a Sweet Baby Hippo Getting a Bath Is All You Need to Round Out 2018

During her growing up process, the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden made a bunch of video, took lots of pictures, and shared Fiona's journey with the whole words on a dedicated Facebook page, 'The Fiona Show'.

Earlier this year, the team released a collage video of previously unseen footage of baby hippo Fiona getting a bath, pats, and snuggles with her human carers. It's the purest thing you ever will see.
