State 32 - New York
Central Park Zoo - NYC
I’ve been wondering how this big boy had been doing, and I saw this article yesterday about him.
He was let loose back in February by vandals, and originally his crew tried to catch him because they were wired here didn’t know how to hunt and wouldn’t do well in the cold winter and the dangerous environment of the city. After no success and public support too let him stay free, they stopped trying to catch him, and just kept a watchful eye on him instead.
It seems he’s doing well though and has learned to thrive in his new surroundings.
Here’s some links to the original and current articles about him. Yes, it’s Daily Mail, but the pics are guys and it’s mainly quotes about Flaco from fans, so there isn’t much to get wrong.
I’ll post some pics from the article and some snippets for those that don’t want to click through.
