Gloria is a gorgeous female hippopotamus who resided in the Central Park Zoo as an attraction, all the while being good friends with Alex, Marty, Melman, and becoming the latter's girlfriend as of Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa. She has gray skin, brown eyes, a snout, short arms and legs, black fingernails, an enormously fat belly, short stubby tail, and a triangular belly button. Gloria comically serves as the height of the gang, both intentionally and in situations she accidentally falls into. She is often serious with what she is talking about and the guys are careful not to get on her nerves.
