【2011 Archives】

Friends011 Archives we are now in the throes of fall. And as the leaves begin to fall in Cincinnati, Ohio, a new autumnal queen has emerged: Fiona the hippo.

Fiona the hippo has been the queen of many realms: eating lettuce, being cute, taking showers, family reunions. But this might be her most adorable domain of all.

Earlier this month, the Cincinnati Zoo posted a video to celebrate the kickoff of "Hall-ZOO-ween," during which kids can stop by on the weekends to trick-or-treat at the zoo. More importantly, though, it's when Fiona got a pumpkin and looked really cute eating it.

(Fiona and her family appear at around the 1:20 mark.)

And Fiona's autumnal influence doesn't stop there. On Wednesday, a Fiona stan named Harry McCane posted a photo of his beautiful Fiona jack-o'-lantern, which he carved for a contest at work.

McCane came in second place, but that's okay -- Fiona would have ranked him #1 and that's all that matters.

What wonders, then, will Fiona have in store for Thanksgiving? Will she run a Turkey Trot? Will she eat a green bean casserole? Will she inspire a Fiona-shaped pumpkin pie? Whatever the queen's plans, we're sure they will be flawless.
