"I will say there were
probably days where we never
would have envisioned getting
here which makes it even
better."CHRISTINA GORSUCH HAS
BEEN WITH FIONA SINCE DAY ONE.
THE HIPPO WAS ONCE TOO WEAK TO STAND.
STAND.
"as she got stronger and was
able to breathe on her on and
nurse on her own and then we
started her in different sized
pools."IN A NINE FOOT DEEP
POOL...FIONA WENT UNDERWATER
FOR US..WITH HER CARE TEAM BY
HER SIDE.

"Her caretakers are in there
mostly to keep her comfortable
in the sense of having others
around her." ZOO OFFICALS SAY
THERE'S NO ONE QUITE LIKE FIONA.

"If she doesn't want to do

stubborn and she will just sit."
sit."
"The Cincinnati Zoo has
raised a lot of animals over a
long period of time but it is
hard to think of a baby that's
ever been more loved and more
followed all over the world
than baby Fiona."SO WHAT'S
NEXT FOR THE HIPPO?
"Hopefully getting her in
with her mom and dad ...that
would be the final crown jewel
on this whole experience."AND
OF COURSE...SEEING HER FANS!
FANS!
"We are letting Fiona set the
schedule."
FIONA IS ONLY OUTSIDE AFTER
HOURS RIGHT NOW..ZOO OFFICIALS
