Calling all Fritz and Fiona (and Bibi and Tucker) fans. Somehow, hippo baby Fritz has already made it past his 2-month-old mark. Remember when he was born in the dark at Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden on Aug. 3? The next morning, senior keeper Jenna Wingate described it all, noting, "I heard a plop."
Bibi is focusing on her youngest calf, as she should, but also allowing him to explore and interact with Fiona more every day. Hippo calves usually nurse anywhere from eight months to a year. Fritz is still nursing and has been exploring solid foods (lettuce and bits of hay) since he was about 2 weeks old. (At his last weigh-in he was a healthy 255 pounds.)
Fritz is very curious about Fiona, but she is still a little nervous about allowing Fritz to interact with her for too long because she wants to make sure she is respecting Bibi’s boundaries. Fritz can often be seen mouthing Fiona’s face while she patiently allows it, and those mouthing interactions are usually followed with Fritz enthusiastically running after her when she leaves him.
