Meet Fritz! 🦛
Say hello to Fritz! More than 200,000 votes were received via a Jotform poll, and 56% preferred Fritz over Ferguson. The hippo keepers love the name and think it’s fitting since Bibi's birth control was apparently on the fritz. It also sounds good with Fiona!
Fritz Exploring Outside 🦛
Fritz explored the outdoor habitat and pool for the first time! He did great and stayed right by his mom Bibi the whole time. She kept him in the shallow waters which shows great maternal instinct. Visitors may or may not see the little guy as he acclimates to outdoor habitat.
