In a zoo in the US state of Texas, the mysterious incidents have been increasing for several weeks. Two monkeys have been missing since Monday, the Dallas Zoo reports on Twitter. It was said that the two emperor tamarins were not in their enclosure in the morning.
It is clear that the case was “deliberately” damaged. Normally, the monkeys with curved whiskers wouldn’t venture far from their home – but a search of the zoo grounds turned up nothing. According to initial police investigation, there is reason to believe that the animals were stolen.
Clouded leopard escapes from enclosure
According to the zoo, it is home to more than 2,000 animals and more than 400 different animal species. It is not the first incident this year that caused a stir: a clouded leopard escaped from its enclosure in mid-January, reports the Dallas Morning News. After hours of searching with drones and a special police unit, the big cat appeared unharmed on the zoo grounds. Suspicious damage was also discovered in their enclosure. The police started an investigation.
About a week later, a vulture was found dead in his enclosure, the paper reported. An autopsy revealed a wound, zoo officials said at a news conference Monday. A spokeswoman for the zoo had previously said the vulture appeared to have died “not of natural causes”. Further details were not given.
