Ever wanted to display your love for Fiona the hippo in your garden for the world to see? Now is your chance.
The Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden is taking pre-orders for Fiona-cast stone statues, a project that has been months in the making according to the zoo's Facebook post.
The $149, 46-pound statues will be available for shipping starting mid-July and were designed and sculpted by Cincinnati artist Tom Tsuchiya. Campania International will be making and pouring the statues.
The statue's dimensions are based on Fiona's actual size at her birth, a "reminder of her perseverance to fight and survive."
Pre-orders can be made through the zoo's online shop, which is offering shipping and in-store pickup options.
