    Found Dallas Zoo Leopard Back on Habitat Saturday. https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/clouded-leopard-escapes-habitat-at-dallas-zoo/3169783/ The zoo reported Nova missing Friday morning after a staffer reported she wasn't in her enclosure. Zoo officials later learned that Nova apparently escaped her mesh enclosure through a tear. During a news conference Friday afternoon Dallas Police said that had opened a criminal investigation into the cat's disappearance after saying her enclosure appeared to have been cut rather than being torn open by the animal.

    Apparently, someone is up to shenanigans at the Dallas zoo. Zookeepers/staff found another breached area in the section of the chimpanzees. Hopeful, that whatever is going on, the zoo staff will find the person causing this trouble before an animal escapes again.

    All right, enough is enough at the Dallas Zoo....now we have bird-business, rather vulture business. This vulture was found deceased under abnormal circumstances. I think the Dallas Zoo needs Griffin Keyes (Kevin James as the Zookeeper from the movie Zookeeper) to solve this mystery of alleged criminal mischief.

    Endangered vultures suspicious death at Dallas Zoo

    The “suspicious” death of an endangered vulture at the Dallas Zoo has prompted the city’s police to open an investigation, following reports that fencing may have been intentionally cut at the same location about a week ago.

    More "monkey business" going on now at a zoo in Louisiana, US. What would be the reason to break in and steal these zoo animals? I just don't get it?

    OMG, he said he would do it again....sigh

    A man who police linked to several bizarre events at the Dallas Zoo, including the theft of two monkeys, told investigators he loves animals and that if he’s released from jail, he’ll steal more, new court documents show.

    Davion Irvin, who remained jailed Wednesday on $25,000 bond, was arrested last week after asking questions at a downtown Dallas aquarium about animals there.

    The 24-year-old Texas man is charged with six counts of animal cruelty and two counts of burglary in connection to the crime.
