A premature hippo's survival inspires hope for endangered species.
Born six weeks early, Fiona the hippo faced a daunting start. Too weak to nurse, she relied on dedicated caregivers for survival. Against the odds, she thrived, becoming a symbol of hope for endangered species like black rhinos and Malayan tigers. Can Fiona's story inspire enough care to save them from extinction?
Fiona, was born six weeks premature. She was too weak to stand and nurse from her mother, Bibi, so caregivers and vet staff stepped in to provide. With help from #TeamFiona, the premature hippo grew into a healthy hippo and an amazing ambassador for her species. Some of the other species represented in this book, like black rhinos and Malayan tigers, are critically endangered. There is hope for them, but people must care enough to want to save them.
