A clouded leopard whose disappearance prompted the closure of the Dallas Zoo has been found
“We are thrilled to report we located clouded leopard Nova on-grounds at the Zoo this afternoon at approximated 4:40 p.m.,” a zoo spokesperson said in a written statement. “She was located very near the original habitat, and teams were able to safely secure her just before 5:15 p.m.” Nova was discovered missing after zoo workers discovered that a fence around her enclosure had been cut. Dallas Police are investigating, calling the damage to the enclosure “an intentional act.
“It was clear that this opening was not a habitat failure, it wasn’t an exhibit failure, and it wasn’t keeper error,” said Dallas Zoo CEO Gregg Hudson. Clouded leopards are categorized as “vulnerable” by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature due to habitat loss and poaching. There are around 10,000 of the felines left in the wild across southeast Asia, according to the World Wildlife Fund.
