Fox that allegedly killed 25 flamingos at National Zoo has been caught
Pamela Baker-Masson, a spokeswoman for the zoo, said Friday that a red fox had been caught in a trap either Thursday night or early Friday morning.
Baker-Masson also did not know whether the fox had been tested for rabies and said that because “birds don’t contract rabies ... that wasn’t a primary issue” in the case.The zoo’s fox troubles started May 2 when a fox got into the flamingos’ enclosure overnight from nearby Rock Creek Park.Officials at the zoo said a staffer who helps run the bird house, where the zoo’s flock of 74 flamingos live, saw the fox in their yard area and found the dead birds.
The fox probably got through a hole, zoo officials said, about the size of a baseball, in the heavy mesh fencing around the flamingo’s habitat. A Northern pintail duck was also killed by the fox, and three other flamingos were hurt and were treated at the zoo’s veterinary hospital.
