The bird that escaped the Central Park Zoo in New York City is hunting on its own, despite previous concerns, zoo officials said, proving he can survive in the wild.
Zoo officials have been monitoring the bird's behavior in Central Park. They were concerned he wouldn't be able to find food or live in the wild since he is used to captivity, but several days ago, they saw him hunting and eating prey.
"Our main concern has always been for the well-being of the eagle owl," said Max Pulsinelli, executive director of communications for the Wildlife Conservation Society's Zoos and Aquarium. The WCS operates multiple zoos in New York City, including the Central Park Zoo. The zoo will continue to monitor him, although not as intensely, and will try to recover him when the time is right.
