[@vanessamarlowe]

So inspiring! The amount of time, work, energy and love this amazing team of people put into Fiona is so beautiful! She survived because of that dedication and that love. And it really shows in her entire personality. Never seen a hippo who has more spunk than this girl. Kudos to Cincinnati Zoo, Children's Hospital and the community that was so supportive. Thank you so much for sharing! Keep it up! You guys rock!!

Is hard to believe that this cute adorable little baby Grows and becomes one of the most dangerous animals in the world

[@nolitetebastardescarborund9761]

@@UCQBNfr_yU5sr_5-jy3sZ4qg "Is hard to believe that this cute adorable little baby Grows and becomes one of the most dangerous animals in the world" All dangerous animals (including humans, especially) begin as cute adorable little babies. Doesn't the human baby grow up to be the most dangerous creature in the world, especially if born & brought up in the Global North?

Now she’s grown to be a full blown diva. She’s earned it!
