CLEVELAND, Ohio – Animals escaping their enclosures at zoos is a relatively rare event, but it does happen. Several incidents have been in the news in recent weeks.
Sometimes human error opens the door for animals to get loose. That happened last September in Minnesota when a zoo worker literally left a door open, allowing birds to escape from an aviary. The Association of Zoos and Aquariums provides guidance to its members on how to keep animals safe and secure. And when something happens, the association shares information learned by zoos from their experiences.
