Hudo is not the only resident of the Cincinnati zoo that caught eyeballs. Earlier this month, the Ohio based Zoo and Biological park shared a video showing a hippopotamus taking a nap “peacefully” in a glass enclosure. The 9-second footage shows the Nile hippo Fiona, who was 6 weeks prematurely born and is known as the smallest hippo ever to survive. Zoo's "supercute" Fiona can be seen dreaming away in the water as she snores bubbles. Calling her nap “the cutest ever”, netizens poured heart emoticons in the comments thread and were carried away by the “beautiful and tender” hippo.
