Disney World recently welcomed a new baby hippo at Disney’s Animal Kingdom park.

It turns out, the male or female hippo is related to Ohio’s famous hippo, Fiona.

The baby hippo’s father, Henry, is also the father of Fiona’s mother, Bibi, according to the Cincinnati Zoo.

“The new baby’s father is also Bibi’s dad,” the zoo wrote in a Facebook post on Friday. “So the new born is either Fiona’s aunt or uncle.”

Disney has not yet released the sex of the baby hippo. It’s the first one born at Disney’s Animal Kingdom in 13 years.

Right now, members of the animal care team have been giving the baby and mom Tuma room to bond.

Tuma and Henry were chosen to breed as part of the park's Species Survival Plan.

Meanwhile, in Cincinnati, Fiona celebrated her first birthday over the weekend. However, the popular hippo officially turns 1 on Jan. 24.
