Appearances
 Like everything hippo in the franchise, Gloria is fat, her skin is gray, but in the belly, she is a little lighter than the rest of her body. Even as Hippos goes, Gloria is made apparent to be heavier than other female Hippos. Infamously known, is in the second movie, with Moto Moto,s remarks av Gloria,s «plumpiness», «Chinlunds» etc. She also has a triangular belly button. A running gag is that her huge size and weight causes many problems, such as in the third movie where she stayed stuck in the pipe, or when she destroyed the glass and she and her friends fell to the casino. She is also beautiful.

Melman and Gloria have known each other since childhood. Secretly, Melman had a crush on her but Gloria was unaware of his feelings until what Melman thought to be his final m

oments. There on, they become boyfriend and girlfriend and spend their first Valentine's Day together.
