Now you can take home the heartwarming story of Fiona via a new book called Hip, Hippo, Hooray for Fiona! The photographic biography chronicles the celebrity hippo’s first days, from her surprise early arrival in winter through her intensive medical care, then through her first spring and summer when she learned to live as a hippo, met her parents, and met her fans.

It's so much fun to celebrate someone who has reached 500 lbs!!

500 lbs of LOVE!!! We are so excited that Fiona has reached 500 lbs today! Female hippos weigh around 3,000 lbs when fully grown so she's still got a lot of growing to do but she is headed in the right direction! Early on we didn't know if this day would ever get here. Thanks to everyone for never giving up on this little (big) nugget!
