Fiona the hippo, was born six weeks before her due date on January 24, 2017. She was too small and weak to stand and nurse from her mother, Bibi, so caregivers stepped in. With help from #TeamFiona, the premature hippo grew into a healthy hippo. There is hope for these animals, but people must care enough to save them. Some of the species represented in this book are endangered. Seeing amazing creatures like these at a zoo can inspire and make our planet a better place.
