An owl that escaped from the Central Park Zoo is still loose — and hunting on his own

Flaco, the owl that escaped the Central Park Zoo in New York City nearly two weeks ago, is still on the loose. But zoo officials now say a big concern has been alleviated: Flaco is hunting for himself.

The zoo had been worried that the Eurasian eagle owl wouldn't be able to find its own food because he's used to captivity.

The owl escaped on Feb. 2 after someone cut the stainless steel mesh on his exhibit. The zoo called it "a deliberate criminal act which jeopardizes the safety of the bird" and said it's under investigation by the New York Police Department. No suspects have yet been identified.
