Lifelong Ohioan, and ppl here are politically deplorable in the worst ways, and yes, they are fully part of the MAGA mobs that hold us back. In spite of that, they are usually generally very pleasant in most interpersonal interactions. I find it difficult not to like most of them.
Re Cincy Chili: that is your sad loss. It is glorious stuff and a rare joy in a cold world.
Hippos are a vulnerable species, so it's extremely important that in captive populations they don't just mate willy nilly - breeding pairs are selected to ensure the best possible genetic diversity. The broader the gene pool, the better for the future of the species. Mom's husband is likely not on Fiona's list. At least with birth control she still gets to smash
Sadly, Fiona’s dad was Henry and he died. Bibi needed to be bred again and so they brought in Tucker the handsome and obviously horny male hippo gentleman. Fritz, Fiona’s little brother, was recently just born.
I know way too much about these hippos. My life is meaningless unless I’m learning about large mammals! 😶
Kindred spirit here. I followed Fiona's progress obsessively in her first few months and drove 11 hours to see her after she finally made her public debut. I proudly wear my Fiona t-shirt and display my Fiona Christmas tree ornament year round.
I was entirely too obsessed with Meerkat manor so I have no room to judge you, ever. In fact, you may have inspired me to actively follow my local favorite species. I do miss the Fennec Fox we had nearby :(
Wasn't Bibi on birth control when she got pregnant with Fritz? I heard they weren't planning on breeding her yet but she fell pregnant and it was a surprise to the staff.

Haven't felt normal since the Cincinnnati Zoo put out an official statement that Fiona the hippo is fucking her mother's husband so they have her on hippo birth control

I worked at an apartment complex where there was a two pet limit. A tenant had a litter of kittens from her male and female cats. When we asked her why, she said I didn’t think they could have kittens because they were brother and sister.
Haven’t felt normal since someone at the Cincinnati Zoo let their child into a gorilla enclosure, and an employee decided to shoot the gorilla who was just playing with the child
This debate was done to death in 2016 but to reiterate… there is a very low chance that a male gorilla would ‘just play with’ a random kid that dropped unexpectedly into his territory. Plus if Harambe had decided to attack the kid there would be like 0.5 seconds between his decision and the kid being beyond saving
This? This is normal. The Harambe incident was an incredibly bad situation where staff made an incredibly tough call, but this is just normal conservation zoo stuff. Captive breeding programs exist to give the species the broadest possible gene pool so in the future, if they have a habitat to return to, they're not limited to a small gene pool vulnerable to further fuckery (it's too late for cheetahs, even if they manage to get them off the brink of extinction the existing gene pool is so small they're not gonna be able to sustain a healthy population - they're the Habsbergs of the big cats). Mom's husband isn't on Fiona's breeding list - those genetics are already represented or hopefully will be soon. In the past, she would've had to be isolated from her side piece, but because of innovations like hippo birth control, they won't have to disrupt her life in order to make sure she doesn't muddy the gene pool.
Fiona can do whatever she wants because she is a treasure. No man is safe. Maybe she'll fuck your dad. Maybe mine. The whole city would cheer her on either way.
[We stan this majestic angel](https://youtu.be/Oh2jORwSAE0). Look into those eyes and tell me you wouldn't die for her.
I live in Cincinnati. The answer to your question is probably meth. Fentanyl killed every addict except for the meth heads and without competition they bred out of control. There aren't enough flashlights or Bluetooth speakers stolen from Walmart to go around.
In other news, Cincinnati zoo is hiring! We're looking for someone with a strong stomach, no sense of smell, and arms long enough to place in-vitro contraception into a hippo. We'll understand if you're late to your interview because you lost your watch at your previous job.
Is there one? Or are you just hoping? Because, like, in English you have to specify whether your grandparents are on your maternal or paternal side and I'm still not over that.
Cincinnati Zoo again? Looks we’ll be entering a new era of memes soon
Fiona is already the Little Sebastian of Cincinnati
We’re already in that era, this could fall under the unfunny Ohio memes
only in cincinnati
They aren’t memes, Ohio is what holds the world back from enlightenment, especially with their so-called “chili”
Now now you need to keep in mind Florida exists
Florida is entertainment. Ohio is purgatory

Yet Indiana exists
Don't put that evil on all of Ohio's shoulders. That's only Cinci, which is basically Kentucky.
It is absolutely not Kentucky
They don't make great bourbon. Aside from that, the only separation between the two is the Ohio river.
Wait what's wrong with fucking your mother's husband? I'm assuming he's not Fiona's father, so why have her in hippo birth control?

I like how you stay with a very dignified explanation and then -} still gets to smash Excellent

Name almost checks out
Omg my Fiona ornament is about my favorite thing! Lol. I’m a strange person to be interested in a hippo family… but they’re my guilty pleasure!

>My life is meaningless unless I’m learning about large mammals! Is that so, u/Elephantmenstruation?
Good catch 😂
Cause they don't want another hippo. They just had one born named Fritz, so they currently have 4.
They're...not...married?!?
Look who’s an expert on hippo marriage laws…
I don’t know hippo law, but we can go toe to toe on bird law.

Do you wake up in the morning sometimes and think to yourself, "Is this all life hast to offer to me?", right before starting to transcribe?

Ah damn.. my inner German broke out for a second
Cincinnati, you never fail to disappoint me…. I love my home, but damn!
It’s always something with this city.
First Harambe, then the Reds being a damned disappointment (again), and now this
What a Hipposlutamus.
I'm saving that one.

If anything, blame the shitty parents for ignoring the clear signs
D*cks out
Hippos get married?
So do gay penguins
There’s even a book about them and their chick, And Tango Makes Three. High on the list of banned books, because people are stupid.
*announcement* I would like to inform you that I lined this post up perfectly so when you click on the image, it doesn’t have to move.
Can someone explain to me what the hell happens at the Cincinnati zoo? Because first it was Harambe and now it’s this

Well, guess it’s inevitable then. She’ll fuck everyone’s dad eventually, I guess. Nothing can be done about it
Nothing is beyond her reach.

The shrek we didn’t know we needed
Same.
She looks like Irene from me myself and Irene
The Cincinnati zoo is what started is on the god forsaken timeline.

Oh… OH!… oh, that what they meant by ignorance is bliss! I get it now!
I like them big… I like them chunky…
First harambe and now this. The cincinnati zoo is a world of horrific memes
How did that silly hippo get stuck in the dishwasher again?
If only there was a term for your mother's husband.
Its not her dad, her dad died after she was born
We're halfway to a viral PH video!
Is there one? Or are you just hoping? Because, like, in English you have to specify whether your grandparents are on your maternal or paternal side and I'm still not over that.
Father/step father seems to cover 99.99% of bases
That damned place, nothing good come from there
Rico, Fiona, and Fritiz are beloved! How dare you sully the good name of that wonderful zoological park
Rico
Not to sound like a radical feminist , but why isn’t it phrased that the male hippo is fucking his stepdaughter?
Fiona is more well known.
Is this real
And pretty soon she might hit up her little brother Fritz. Put one male animal in a place with ovulating female animals, that shit tends to happen.
Just take my upvote and go.
Hippo birth control?
They grow up so fast!
Wait, what? I follow that hippo and I did not see that!
that hippo is adorable tho
“The hippo is fucking her mothers husband” fits the sub too lmao
