A female sea lion briefly escaped from her enclosure in New York’s Central Park Zoo Friday when heavy rain caused her pool to flood.
The sea lion managed to swim out of the flooded pool and roam throughout the surrounding area before returning to her enclosure, which she shares with two other sea lions, according to a news release from Jim Breheny, executive vice president of the Wildlife Conservation Society’s Zoos and Aquarium.Staff at the zoo “monitored” the marine mammal’s unexpected adventure while waiting for her to return.
“No staff or visitors were in danger and the sea lion remained inside the zoo, never breaching the zoo’s secondary perimeter,” Breheny said. On Friday morning, the Wildlife Conservation Society closed all five facilities due to severe weather. Thehas triggered a state of emergency in New York and caused flooding in basements, schools, and subways.
