DALLAS — More cameras, greater security lighting with motion detection and additional fencing.
Those are just a few of the things Dallas Zoo officials said they’re implementing in the wake of several mysterious incidents at the zoo over the span of two and a half weeks. This included a daylong search of Nova, a clouded leopard who escaped through a cut in her enclosure; a similar cut in a langur monkey exhibit; a suspicious death of a lappet-faced vulture; and the nabbing of two emperor tamarin monkeys.
Zoo officials gave the first public update to city officials at Dallas City Hall Tuesday morning on the series of events that’s impacted the zoo and the measures they’re taking to respond.
