October 31, 20178 yr This is just awful. Henry (Fiona's dad) had been sick with some sort of illness for a month or two. Vets determined this morning that he would continue to deteriorate and made the decision to euthanize Henry. I'm probably way more sad than I should be by this news, but I love animals, especially hippos.
October 31, 20178 yr We are so lucky to have the Cincinnati Zoo. When my kids were little we had a family zoo pass every year. Some of my best memories are running around the zoo with them. RIP Henry. I am sure they did their best for you!
November 1, 20178 yr Thought I read that it had something to do with his kidneys. Sucks for the zoo but I think he lived the avg life expectancy for a Hippo.
