Fiona enjoyed the special occasion with a giant, animal-friendly birthday cake -- and clearly, she couldn't get enough of the yummy treat.
America's favorite hippo Fiona got to try out snow for the first time and while she didn't seem too crazy about it, her mom Bibi couldn't get enough!
Besides receiving presents, we can all agree the best part of a birthday party is the cake.
The death of the 17-year-old male western lowland gorilla led to mourning around the globe and a storm of criticism and unending social media attention.
The Cincinnati Zoo reopened its gorilla exhibit with a higher, reinforced barrier installed after a boy got into the exhibit and was dragged by a 400-pound gorilla, which was then shot and killed.
Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters said the child's mother had three other children with her, and she was attending to them when the 3-year-old "just scampered off.''
The killing of a 400-pound gorilla to save a little boy who had slipped into the animal's enclosure at the Cincinnati Zoo has triggered outrage, second-guessing and a police investigation into whether the youngster's family did anything wrong.
Police said Tuesday they are investigating the parents of the 3-year-old boy who fell into a gorilla enclosure at the Cincinnati Zoo and had to be rescued by a team that shot the 400-pound animal to death.
Francesa voiced his outrage over people who have argued that workers at the Cincinnati Zoo should not have fatally shot a gorilla who was with a 4-year-old boy who had fallen into an enclosure.
Kim O'Connor, who shot the video, said she saw the boy and his mom before he climbed through the public barrier at the zoo.
