DALLAS — The Dallas Zoo closed Friday because of “a serious situation” involving a missing clouded leopard.
The zoo said it issued a “code blue” at 10:20 a.m., adding the Dallas Police Department was onsite trying to find the “non-dangerous” cat, 4-year-old Nova, who was unaccounted for when staff checked her habitat earlier Friday morning.
“Given the nature of these animals, we believe the animal is still on grounds and hiding,” the zoo wrote in a tweet.
