On Monday, the zoo's Bird House staff made the gruesome discovery and spotted the fox in the outdoor flamingo enclosure before it escaped. Three additional flamingos were injured and treated by on-site veterinarians, the institute said.
"This is a heartbreaking loss for us and everyone who cares about our animals," said Brandie Smith, the John and Adrienne Mars director with the zoo."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.
Digital camera traps with an infrared sensor triggered by movement have been set up to photograph overnight activity.
