Last month beloved Eurasian eagle-owl Flaco met his end when he smashed into a building on Manhattan's Upper West side, but a toxicology report this week confirms he wasn’t long for this world anyway, as the poor guy was rife with poison.
The Eurasian eagle-owl Flaco, who escaped his confines in the Central Park Zoo in February last year, has met a sad end to his legendary life. The magnificent raptor, who became the city’s symbol of defiance and resilience over the course of his twelve months of freedom, was killed when he flew into the side of a building on Manhattan’s Upper West Side.
We have been following the charmed life of Flaco, the Eurasian eagle-owl who flew the coop in the Central Park Zoo nine months ago and has lived in freedom ever since. This week Flaco took off again, this time to a garden in the Lower East Side and beyond. Wherever he lands next is up to Flaco.
It’s been a banner week for zoo escapes. First up, a young male zebra named Sero busted out of his enclosure at the Children's Grand Park Zoo in Korea. Sero was born at the zoo in 2021 but apparently wondered about the outside world that supplied all the gawking hordes and went on the lam.
This week the Central Park Zoo suspended its attempts to capture Flaco, the Eurasian eagle owl that had been sprung from his confines at the zoo by vandals earlier this month.
