The National Zoo lost 25 of its 74 flamingos due to a fox breach. BY KATE OC ZYPOK
FOX BREAKS INTO NATION ZOO, KILLS 25 FLAMINGOS, ONE DUCK The National Zoo reported that a wild fox broke through a metal mesh enclosure overnight earlier this month, and proceeded to kill 25 flamingos and one Northern pintail duck. Bird House staff arrived to discover the dead birds and moved the remaining 49 living flamingos indoors to their barn and the ducks to a covered and secure outdoor space. “This is a heartbreaking loss for us and everyone who cares about our animals,” said
Brandie Smith, John and Adrienne Mars Director for the Smithsonian National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute in a press release. “The barrier we used passed inspection and is used by other accredited zoos across the country. Our focus now is on the well-being of the remaining flock and fortifying our habitats.” VISIT GEORGETOWNER.COM FOR THE FULL ARTICLE AND IMAGES
