Cincinnati Zoo names new baby hippo Fritz

The Cincinnati Zoo has named its newest baby hippo, Fritz, after an online vote by tens of thousands of his adoring fans.After over 90,000 name suggestions came in from every state in the U.S. and over 60 countries, zoo employees narrowed it down to Fritz or Ferguson — and Fritz won with 56% of the vote.Fritz is a little brother to the zoo's already famous hippo, Fiona. Fiona was born six weeks premature and wasn't able to stand on her own, though now she is healthy and happy at the zoo.Staff discovered the calf's mother, 23-year-old Bibi, was pregnant around early April of this year. It came as a surprise because Bibi was on birth control.Only a few weeks old, Fritz spends his days bonding with his mother in a private enclosure, though the zoo said introductions will start soon.
