Two brazen foxes also picked up two Humboldt penguins during a daylight raid at the popular attraction last year, during which 25 animals died
An endangered iguana who suffered injuries during sex and two penguins who were picked up by trespassing foxes were among 25 animals that died at Dublin Zoo last year.
The following month, a Lau banded iguana suffered serious injuries to her neck and back during mating. She was quickly removed from the habitat but died shortly afterwards. A spokesman for Dublin Zoo said the loss of every animal is mourned at the popular visitor attraction. “However, as in the wild, animals also die in human care. In every such situation, the best of veterinary care and attention is given. We mourn the loss of every animal.”
