I know Fiona at the Cincinnati Zoo was born at 29 pounds on January 24th, 2017, and is the lightest Common Hippopotamus calf to survive. Does anyone know what the heaviest hippo calf at birth, regardless of gender, to survive? I cannot find anything above 90 pounds on hipposworld.de. I have heard of a male hippo that lived at a zoo in Germany that weighed 10,000 pounds as an adult, and was the heaviest known adult hippo ever.
