CINCINNATI – Cincinnati’s celebrity, Fiona the Hippo, has chosen her winner for this year’s Super Bowl... and then she threw up on it.
Zookeepers placed two toys in front of her, each labeled with one of the competing teams in this year’s Super Bowl - the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers.

Although zookeepers may have expected Fiona to simply nudge one of the two toys... she took another approach.
In a video posted on the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden’s Facebook page, Fiona is seen hovering over the Kansas City Chiefs toy. However, instead of just nudging it, she threw up what looks to be leafy greens all over it.
The Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers take to the field Sunday, Feb. 2.
