By Laura ByagerQueen of the internet, Fiona the Hippo, just turned two. And as if that fact alone didn’t warrant an article, another internet famous hippo just sent Fiona a pretty sweet birthday song.
Fiona, who lives and reigns in Cincinnati Zoo, got a special birthday song from Timothy, her male famous hippo counterpart from San Antonio Zoo, who has been courting her on social media for some time now.

San Antonio Zoo tweeted a video showing Timothy attempting to “sing” a birthday song for Fiona by letting out a grunt-like hippo sound, before letting a five-person mariachi band take over.
Timothy’s birthday greeting came after Cincinnati Zoo had shared their own special birthday video. Fiona’s care team got her a birthday cake worthy of the queen that she is, and Fiona, famous lover of snacking, dived right in.
They also posted some pretty cute throwback pics of Fiona’s journey from premature hippo baby to 1,000-pound hippo DIVA.
Cincinnati’s favorite baby hippo has entered what her care team hopes will not be her “terrible twos”! This is another major milestone for the preemie that almost didn’t make it, weighing a fifth of what a normal baby hippo would weigh when she was born on 1/24/17 #TBT #TeamFiona pic.twitter.com/IMg3ahAYmt
