The Cincinnati Zoo is telling visitors why baby hippo Fiona’s dad, Henry, hasn’t been seen much lately.

“Our beloved papa hippo hasn’t been feeling well and has been choosing to stay inside. He has been more tired than usual and doesn’t have much of an appetite,” the zoo said in an Instagram post.

Members of Henry’s care team are working to diagnose and treat whatever is ailing him, according to the zoo.

“Please send your positive thoughts Henry’s way,” the post says.
