To go along with this, Cincinnati Zoo has started a facebook page called "The Fiona Show": www.facebook.com/thefionashow/ where they'll be adding videos following Fiona as she grows up. They've already added the first video chronicling the very beginning when she was born premature and the effort that the staff went through to keep her alive

One of the things I love was the advancements that Bibi's pregnancy and Fiona's birth resulted in. I mean, doing an ultrasound on a hippo (a first, from what it sounds like), using the training that let them do the ultrasound to also let them milk her and be able to actually get milk from her. That in turn allowing them to figuring out the composition of hippo milk (which could benefit in saving other hippos (i.e. orphans or other premies born in zoos)

I initially viewed this yesterday on my phone and the text came up before the image for the video. I misread 'bear' as 'beer', and found the idea of a rescued beer not letting go of its rescuer to be funnier than the bear.

And another entry in the "some people are monsters, but thank god there are good ones, too" category. Found this post on 9gag:

Found kittens in a bucket by a dumpster, someone left them for Irma to take them. I took them

And here a close-up of one of the rescued little cuties:

Not my team, but still gotta share this as it makes me smile:

Fans of the 1. FC Köln (Cologne's biggest football club) have arrived in London ahead of their Europa League match against Arsenal. (The Europa League is Europe's second biggest season-long intercontinental football tournament after the Champions League and Köln qualified for the first time in 25 years! So it's a pretty big deal for them.)
