<p>The Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden’s baby hippo has been reunited in the same space with her mother for the first time since she was born six weeks early.</p><p>The zoo released video Friday, June 9, showing Fiona and mother Bibi together in the same space. Fiona can be seen licking her mother and giving her hippo kisses.</p><p>The two were closely supervised by zoo staff, and Fiona had two points of exit, the zoo said on its blog</a>. Fiona was reintroduced to Bibi and Henry, her father, last month, though there were partitions between them</a>. The zoo staff slowly moved away the partitions as Fiona and her parents became more familiar with each other.</p><p>Fiona was born six weeks early in January at just 29 pounds, well below the normal 55-110 pound birth weight for hippos. A team from the zoo has been caring for her away from her parents since her birth. Fiona ventured into her outdoor enclosure for the first time</a> with the media watching on May 31. Zoo visitors may get a lucky glimpse of Fiona, though there is no schedule of when she may appear outside.</p><br />
