Team Fiona cookies return Thursday, this time showing the popular baby hippo with her mother, Bibi.

Busken Bakery, based in Cincinnati, will donate $1 from each cookie to the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden. While there are no Busken stores in the Dayton area, the products are available at UDF and some Kroger stores.

The first batch of #TeamFiona cookies quickly sold out earlier this year, with sales raising $20,844 for the zoo as of Feb. 28, our media partner WCPO-TV Channel 9 in Cincinnati reported.

Fiona has been making unannounced appearances with Bibi in the outdoor exhibit over the past few weeks. She was born six weeks early on Jan. 24, and is the first hippo born at the Cincinnati Zoo in 75 years, according to WCPO.
