The fox that broke into the National Zoo in Northwest Washington and killed 25 flamingos has been caught and euthanized, officials said.
She said that she didn’t know if the fox was male or female and that it was “humanely euthanized.” Baker-Masson didn’t know if the fox had been tested for rabies and said because “birds don’t contract rabies, so that wasn’t a primary issue.”
The fox probably got through a hole, zoo officials said, about the size of a baseball, in the heavy mesh fencing around the flamingo’s habitat. A Northern pintail duck was also killed by the fox, and three other flamingos were hurt and were treated at the zoo’s veterinary hospital.
