Become part of #TeamFiona

Baby hippo Fiona arrived six weeks early and requires 24-hour care since she was born Jan. 24.

A new campaign has been started by the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden to help cover the cost of providing the support the baby hippo needs.

You can get a #TeamFiona shirt or car magnet by going to the website here.

Fiona has already outgrown two pools and is allowed to have supervised pool time now that her IV has been removed.

Hippos don’t actually swim. They float and are able to hold their breath for long periods of time.

Spending time in the pool will help Fiona build muscle and lung strength and keep her skin moist.

The pool is close to her mom and dad so she can hear and smell them.
