Dallas Zoo monkeys are now missing in what is now a series of events at the local wildlife park. Federal officials are now involved in the investigation.
The Dallas Zoo told Dallas Police that two Emperor Tamarin monkeys were missing on Monday afternoon.
Zookeepers searched the immediate vicinity and wider zoo grounds, but could not locate the animals.
Less than three weeks ago Dallas officials determined a clouded leopard had been intentionally set free from its enclosure. Since then a vulture has been found dead of an intentional injury and there have been other suspicious events.
Both the FBI and United State Fish and Wildlife Service are now involved with the investigation. They have been called in due to the death of the zoo’s vulture which is on the endangered species list.
Dallas Zoo Monkeys Actually Emperor Tamarins
The Emperor Tamarin is so named because they appear to look like German emperor Wilhelm II. These tamarins normally reside in western Brazil.
The fur of the emperor tamarin is predominantly grey colored, but it does have yellow speckles on its chest.
The hands and feet are black and the tail is brown.
Outstanding is its long, white beard, which extends to both sides beyond the shoulders. The animal reaches a length of 23–26 centimeters (9–10 in), plus a 35–41.5 cm (13.8–16.3 in) long tail.
Dallas Zoo Groundhog Day has come three weeks early, but it’s here – again. The Dallas Zoo has lost a clouded leopard from its enclosure at the South Dallas zoo.
The zoo is closed while authorities work to locate the animal.
Dallas Police are currently assisting in locating the animal. Due to restrictions by Chief Garcia it is unclear how many officers are involved.
Zoo keepers are the zoo discovered damage to her enclosure. They believe the clouded leopard, named Nova, escaped. There has been some discussion she was stolen from the zoo.
Harrison Edell, the zoo’s vice president of animal care and conservation, delivered a statement. This came after the zoo initiated a “Code Blue.”
Edell said, “the cat that we’re looking for is about 20 pounds – between 20 and 25 pounds. She does not pose a danger to humans. And more likely than not, when she’s scared, she’s going to climb a tree, stay out of our way, hunt some squirrels and birds and hope not to be noticed.”
Dallas Zoo Groundhog Day – Another Embarrassment For Dallas
Since 2013 nearly hundreds of animals have died in the hands of Dallas Zoo staff. This includes multiple giraffes – leading to a SNL skit, a Silverback gorilla, and a zebra.
It is unclear if other local media will give another pass to continuing issues at our zoo or if they will sit on the sidelines criticizing questions of accountability.
In 2009, Dallas City Council members voted unanimously to turn management of zoo.
At the time the move was hailed for saving he city $1.5 M per year. Supporters said it would lead to increased donation, but there were concerns at the time over the speed the plan was presented and advanced.
Additionally, the public’s access to the zoo and zoo records was curtailed.
Another Dallas Zoo death shows the local wildlife park continues to be a step away from being a puppy mill. There have been hundreds of deaths in the past decade alone.
Per Dallas Zoo media releases the ten year old Brutus, one of the cheetah brothers on habitat, died earlier this week.
During is reported to have had a poor appetite and was lethargic and weak.
The Dallas Zoo says they are still awaiting necropsy results to determine cause of this situation. Initial results indicate chronic changes in his kidneys, and likely kidney failure – a common issue in older cats.
The zoo closes with a statement about their zookeepers feelings.
The animals in our care become part of our family, and Brutus will be missed dearly…
We ask that you please keep our zoologists in your thoughts as they, too, deal with this loss.
