Large crowds have been gathering to catch a glimpse of the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden’s baby hippopotamus. The zoo posted video on Saturday, June 24, showing Fiona and mom Bibi swimming in the outdoor pool as her fans watch.

Fiona has been making short visits to the outdoor exhibit, and lucky fans there at the right time can see her. Often, she is with Bibi, now that the two have been reunited and are spending more time together. There is no schedule as to when Fiona may appear in the exhibit.

Fiona was born six weeks early in January at just 29 pounds, well below the normal 55-110 pound birth weight for hippos. A team from the zoo has been caring for her away from her parents since her birth, but Fiona was recently reunited with Bibi and is spending more time with father Henry.
