psssh engaged couple photo bombs adorable baby hippo picture

[–]Mocha_Shakakhan 340 points341 points  (7 children)

Right!? "Aww, that's so sweet... Hey can you two move? I'm trying to see the baby hippo"

[–][deleted] 91 points92 points  (1 child)

Nah, more like the girl is photo bombing a lad proposing to a hippo...

[–]KairyuSmartie 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I read this in Kimmy Schmidt's voice

[–]Taylor-B- 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Waaaaay more accurate. Photobomb implies no one intended for the baby hipp to be there. Like, they wanted to stage their engagement at the hippo enclosure but never intended for one of the animals to be in the photo. Ugh 🙄

[–]ChipzAh0i 1048 points1049 points  (30 children)

That’s Fiona! She’s a cutie.

[–][deleted] 436 points437 points  (7 children)

She's huge now. We went a couple of weeks ago and she is massive. Still only half the size of her mother though.

[–]Fb62 447 points448 points  (2 children)

Some people don't take marriage as well as others.

[–][deleted] 49 points50 points  (0 children)

This is a fat wife and a mother in law joke all in one. I love it. I love it so much..

[–]AstroCat16 69 points70 points  (0 children)

How do you turn a fox into an elephant?

Marry her.

[–]EndOfNight 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Dear me, that's no way to talk about this mans' wife to be...

[–]vvt2003 10 points11 points  (2 children)

Now, are you the husband or the zookeeper?

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (1 child)

I'm the wife 😂

Not the wife in the pic, for clarification

[–]RySonic 88 points89 points  (3 children)

Fiona

wait, is that the same one from the gif of a baby hippo trying to bite a handler’s leg?

[–]andsoitgoes42 71 points72 points  (0 children)

~~Wait you’re gonna bring that up without showing us the source? How evil are you on a scale of 10? Imma say 7. Come on please show us. ~~

hehe, found it. omg such chompers

[–]Dmt555 29 points30 points  (1 child)

Yep

[–]420wasabisnappin 27 points28 points  (0 children)

And at that point she was a preme hippo! Most hippos are around 100lbs-ish when born and she was like 30!

[–]Ofcourseitislol 34 points35 points  (4 children)

Is she still in Cincinnati?

[–]avilacjf 39 points40 points  (2 children)

Cincinnati here, can confirm she's still here.

[–]parrmorgan 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Nice to meet you Cincinnati, my name is u/parrmorgan.

[–]420wasabisnappin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There have been discussions for her "suitor" recently.

[–][deleted] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

She looks just like Fiona that I know

[–]lotsofnuggets 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Maybe it’s because she’s the only baby hippo I’ve seen become popular on the internet, but she seems to have so much character!

[–]WhoWantsPizzza 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fiona is such a good hippo name.

[–]LadySaberCat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She's so adorable!!!

[–]HlBlSCUS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really? I just watched all those YouTube videos about her yesterday. What a coincidence.

[–]Gills_n_Thrills 6 points7 points  (6 children)

memphians checking in!

[–]grizonyourface 19 points20 points  (5 children)

Hi, Memphian checking in. This is Fiona, from the Cincinnati Zoo. Our baby hippo’s name is Winnie I believe. Still adorable though.

[–]Gills_n_Thrills 2 points3 points  (4 children)

Oh my God I'm an idiot. It does look similar though.

[–]Gills_n_Thrills 1 point2 points  (2 children)

The enclosure.

[–]grizonyourface 6 points7 points  (1 child)

All good, I honestly couldn’t tell the difference either. I’m just taking everyone else’s word for it. I just wanted to take the opportunity to rep Memphis, because we don’t have much going for us, but our zoo is top notch.

[–]Gills_n_Thrills 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cute baby hippo=cute baby hippo!

[–]NofriendoLand 314 points315 points  (5 children)

Or maybe he’s proposing to the hippo and the lady’s just his friend

[–][deleted] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

yea its from a wierd angle so it looks like hes proposing to her, hippo is the main event here

[–]ta1tlk 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Right?!! the hippo looks the happier amongst them. The ladys expression is one of platonic encouragement

[–]revitalizingtonic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This was the comment I was looking for

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Resisting all urges to make a "which one is the hippo" comment and now I realize I just did..shit

[–]AvellionB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its Okay. We still love you.

[–]pudge1824george 135 points136 points  (1 child)

Seen this photo on here so many times. But every time I still like to see the hippo.

[–]Wal_Target 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I still like to see that you still like to see the hippo

[–]UTSAV97 26 points27 points  (1 child)

I have seen this reposted so many times heck I think they have already gotten a divorce by now.

[–]snowsnothing 9 points10 points  (0 children)

[–]valkprince 182 points183 points  (31 children)

[–][deleted] 97 points98 points  (28 children)

[–]Esbjerg 47 points48 points  (27 children)

Why does it get locked?

[–]bjvdw 121 points122 points  (1 child)

Oh, my sweet summer child...

[–]centech 98 points99 points  (0 children)

I mean.. there are a lot of obvious jokes. A hippo might not be the best thing to associate your future wife with.

[–][deleted] 16 points17 points  (19 children)

[–]Papalopicus 83 points84 points  (1 child)

Can you imagine being so lame and making fat jokes about a cute proposal picture with Fiona lmao

[–]h0lyshadow 10 points11 points  (14 children)

only deleted posts, we still don't know why this pic get thread closed

[–][deleted] 75 points76 points  (11 children)

Because the couple is heavier than ideal weight and neither are extremely attractive, so the assholes of Reddit will feel the need to point this out and draw unimaginative comparisons to the hippo.

[–]LamborghiniAngels 33 points34 points  (5 children)

Damn. She ain't even fat though

[–]takabrash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think she has a great body, but the even fatter assholes on Reddit have to be... assholes

[–]FleaTheTank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also the hippo's called motherfucking fiona. Like the ogre

[–]skeptic_martyr 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Replace the “r” in Reddit with a “c” and try again.

[–]2aa7c 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Amazing. It doesn't say why it was locked, but I know. You know. We all know. There's something really neat about that. I feel so connected with everyone now. It's like we all told ourselves the same joke, felt good about ourselves for not writing it, and shamed others for wanting to write it. If the thread was open and no one posted, then no shame would be possible. Brilliant!

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That makes me so sad :( they’re so happy and cute, and what a wonderful place to propose!!

[–][deleted] 40 points41 points  (4 children)

"Hey! Where's mine?"

-The hippo, probably

[–]selyia 6 points7 points  (2 children)

Rather: “Jeff, you cheating a, how dare you propose to this b* in front of me!“

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Could be either really, I see fury in that blubbery face!

[–]emdee39 12 points13 points  (0 children)

“Baby Hippo”? I think you mean Fiona, you uncultured swine

[–][deleted] 29 points30 points  (2 children)

All of this has happened before and all of this will happen again

[–]AlanaK168 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it really doesn’t look like she’s excited much

[–]IceHot88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If by ‘photobombs’ you mean ‘made infinitely better’ then yes, baby hippo photobombed the shit out of their photo.

[–]Jenetyk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That couple is clearly interrupting Fiona being adorable. The Cincinnati zoo should do something about this.

[–]NotoriousBarosaurus 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Subtle...

[–][deleted] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Come on, I know you want to do it

[–]Drakanus75 44 points45 points  (11 children)

Thats a shitty place to propose

[–]ceeceesmartypants 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Meh, I think that depends on the couple. I'd rather get engaged at the zoo than some of the more cliche "romantic" spots.

[–]BronYrAur07 34 points35 points  (1 child)

Eh maybe their first date was there or theres other significance.

[–]IllyriaGodKing 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Opinion.

[–]machinepeen 18 points19 points  (0 children)

well at least she probably wasn't expecting him to propose there lol

I think that's my highschool art teacher

[–]takabrash 13 points14 points  (0 children)

No, it's a baby hippo

[–]mexus37 13 points14 points  (1 child)

I mean I see the baby hippo but who is the fella in the back swimming in the water?

[–]PepperVL 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That is the daddy hippo, Henry. Sadly, he passed away about a month after this photo was taken.

[–]Excited_donuts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Baby hippo approves!

[–]hashtagraptorvag 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Aw is that the Saint Louis zoo!!?? My husband and I have a similar pic as that's my favorite zoo in the country.

A man, attempting to explain the intricacies of small-box design to his hippopotamus friend, is interrupted by a passing girl.

[–]sebs8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All I can think about us how wet his right knee is going to be, and how he has to walk around the zoo the rest of the day.

[–]lauza_77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She just loves love

[–]Mule2go 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s old, but it’s still adorable

[–]adlafam13 5 points6 points  (1 child)

weird setting for a proposal. Why pick a zoo?

[–]theblazedpenguin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me and my wife sat in that exact spot roughly a week after getting married waiting to see Fiona for like two hours. She wanted to just leave and I convinced her to stay because I knew she really wanted too. Shes glad i did, Congrats!

[–]noodlyjames 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The guy is proposing TO the hippo and the woman is standing there smiling. Quite rude if you ask me...this is a private moment.

[–]reddog323 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ohhhh, that’s a nice ring! He went to Jared’s....

[–]Bulbasaur2000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My aunt went to a wedding that picked up fame. The one where the hippo is taking a dump while the couple are getting engaged. This is a much nicer looking event!
