Staff found the bird dead in its enclosure -- about a week after the same zoo made headlines for a clouded leopard that escaped after fencing around its enclosure was cut in what police called “an intentional act.”
Police are investigating the death of an endangered vulture at the Dallas Zoo as “suspicious,” authorities said. Staff found the bird dead in its enclosure Saturday – about a week after the same zoo made headlines for a clouded leopard that escaped after fencing around its enclosure was cut in what police called “an intentional act.” The zoo said that “given the recent incidents,” staff alerted the Dallas Police Department about the vulture’s death.
In the past week, the Dallas Zoo said it has added additional cameras throughout the property and increased on-site security patrols during the overnight hours. “We will continue to implement and expand our safety and security measures to whatever level necessary to keep our animals and staff safe,” the zoo added. The clouded leopard’s disappearance last Friday prompted the zoo to close as workers and police searched for the missing feline.
