DALLAS — A rare and endangered vulture has died an “unusual” death in its enclosure over the weekend in what police and zoo officials say “does not appear to be from natural causes.”
“This weekend, our staff found that one of the endangered vultures in our Wilds of Africa habitats had died,” the Dallas Zoo said in a statement posted to social media. “The circumstances of the death are unusual, and the death does not appear to be from natural causes.” “We cannot share many details until Dallas PD has had more time to look into this matter,” the zoo said in its statement.
“In the past week, we have added additional cameras throughout the Zoo and increased onsite security patrols during the overnight hours,” the statement from the zoo read. “We will continue to implement and expand our safety and security measures to whatever level necessary to keep our animals and staff safe.”
