Fiona is filled with curiosity. Her little velvety ears are constantly alert for new sounds, which she follows to find out what's making them. Her soft snout is often snuffling along the ground, tracing some scent trail or other. And, most importantly, if she thinks something has a remote possibility of being edible, she just has to taste it. She has learned a lot this way, most notably that and that carrot tops are delicious and that Oregon grapes taste nothing like other grapes. We have learned that she is the softest and squishiest hippo we've ever hugged.
