About

Fritz is a beloved pygmy hippopotamus at the Cincinnati Zoo, born on August 3, 2022. He quickly became a fan favorite thanks to his playful nature and adorable appearance. Fritz is the second pygmy hippo born at the zoo, following his older sister Fiona, who is also famous.

Pygmy hippos are smaller and more elusive than their common hippopotamus relatives, making Fritz a special addition to the zoo's conservation efforts for this rare species. Visitors flock to see him, enjoying his antics and charm as he grows and explores his habitat.
