Police have opened a criminal investigation into a leopard named Nova who went missing from the Dallas Zoo Friday after it appeared the animal’s mesh enclosure was intentionally cut.According to a statement on Twitter, the zoo is locked down with a"Code Blue," indicating a non-dangerous animal out of its habitat.The Dallas Police Department arrived at the zoo with a SWAT team to assist shortly after the animal was identified as missing.
“If anything, she’s real nervous and afraid of people," he said Friday outside the zoo gates."She’s more likely to avoid a stranger than she is to come down and investigate or challenge." Edell added the leopard grew up in the zoo, and that staff were looking into possible food sources to see if they can identify where she might be.
"We have a ton of native wildlife that live on zoo grounds as well, squirrels and birds," he said."I wouldn’t put it past her to hunt some of them if opportunistically she had the chance."
