Fiona the Hippo's had a big year. In fact, she's not even one year old yet.
But 2017's perfect baby hippo is growing up. Born six weeks premature at only 29 pounds at Cincinnati Zoo in January, Fiona has garnered quite the online fanbase (including us) — just watch her engagement photobomb to know why.
Now, Fiona is sitting pretty at 622 pounds, according to the zoo. Plus, Fiona's zoo team has transitioned her to an all solid food diet — no more bottles!
Cinncinati Zoo decided to celebrate the holidays with Fiona on Dec. 21. In the zoo's video, currently sitting at 3.9 million Facebook views, she can be seen munching and tossing her gift box before finding some lettuce within.
Aw man, she's all grown up. Her birthday's on Jan. 24, so expect one heck of a party.
