Two emperor tamarin monkeys have gone missing at a zoo in Texas, the latest in a string of bizarre animal incidents to rock the Dallas Zoo
Zoo authorities called the local police"after the animal care team discovered two of our emperor tamarin monkeys were missing," the zoo tweeted late yesterday.
It marked the second time animals have vanished from the facility in recent weeks. The zoo closed on 13 January after keepers discovered a breach in the enclosure of a clouded leopard.A little more than a week later, the zoo reported that an endangered lappet-faced vulture was found dead from a"wound," and the"circumstances of the death are unusual".
"Based on the Dallas Police Department's initial assessment, they have reason to believe the tamarins were taken," the zoo statement said.
