    Font - Dallas Zoo @DallasZoo The Zoo is closed today due to a serious situation. 6:20 PM - Jan 13, 2023 - 42M Views 11.7K Retweets 5,999 Quote Tweets 198.1K Likes

    Not gonna lie, when we first saw this tweet - before we read the thread - we were more confused and suspicious than anything. And that seems to be most people's reaction. We don't understand why the zoo was so heckin' cryptic in the way that they announced this, but we're glad they did, because it is so strangely funny.

    Font - Dallas Zoo @DallasZoo We have an ongoing situation at the Zoo right now with a Code Blue - that is a non-dangerous animal that is out of its habitat. One of our clouded leopards was not in its habitat when the team arrived this morning and is unaccounted for at this time. 6:21 PM - Jan 13, 2023 - 17.3M Views 2,883 Retweets 4,878 Quote Tweets 53.1K Likes

    Our second reaction, as we continued reading this thread, was concern. For the leopard, more than anything, though the employees at the zoo too. We waited with bated breath for days to hear updates about this story, and god but we were so relieved when we heard that the sweet big cat was found and fine.

Given the nature of these animals, we believe the animal is still on grounds and hiding. We will share updates and more information as soon as we can. 6:21 PM - Jan 13, 2023 6.3M Views 493 Retweets 360 Quote Tweets 32.1K Likes

    Font - Dallas Zoo @DallasZoo *** This animal is an adult clouded leopard and weighs 25 lbs. Its habitat is a dense forest, and it is designed for life in the treetops. It is bigger than a house cat and smaller than most bobcats. If you think you see the animals, please do not approach the animal. 11:04 PM - Jan 13, 2023 - 1.2M Views 240 Retweets 161 Quote Tweets 6,990 Likes

    Font - Dallas Zoo @DallasZoo CU We ask that you take a photo and DM us. To set some minds at ease, if she has made her way off-grounds, this animal isn't a greater risk for pets than animals native to North Texas that roam our neighborhoods, but if you feel more comfortable bringing pets inside, please do. 11:05 PM - Jan 13, 2023 - 1M Views 187 Retweets 69 Quote Tweets 6,114 Likes

    Font - Dallas Zoo @DallasZoo Clouded leopard Nova spent Saturday in the habitat with her sister Luna, perched up on a high branch while oh-so-many guests stopped by to wish her well. The vet & animal care teams say she shows no signs of injury and has settled right back into her routine today. #thankful 11:34 PM - Jan 14, 2023 - 941K Views ... 366 Retweets 49 Quote Tweets 14K Likes
