DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF) – Another investigation involving Police is underway at the Dallas Zoo.
Over the weekend, Zoo staff found that one of the endangered vultures in the Wilds of Africa habitats died.
“The animal care team is heartbroken over this tremendous loss,” the Zoo said in a statement. “Please keep them in your thoughts as they process what has happened.”
The Zoo said Sunday that the circumstances of the death are unusual, and the death does not appear to be from natural causes.
“Given the recent incidents at the Zoo, we alerted the Dallas Police Department,” a statement read. “We cannot share many details until Dallas PD has had more time to look into this matter.”
Earlier this month Dallas Police were called to investigate cuts made to two other animal enclosures at the zoo. In one case, a snow leopard escaped, but was later found nearby.
The Zoo is taking additional precautions.
In the past week, we have added additional cameras throughout the Zoo and increased onsite security patrols during the overnight hours,” Zoo officials said. “We will continue to implement and expand our safety and security measures to whatever level necessary to keep our animals and staff safe.”
