The Columbus Zoo (the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium) rescued animals from the Zanesville, Ohio exotic animal farm tragedy.
According to an NBCi4 article:
"Six animals were caught and transported to the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium: one grizzly bear, three leopards and two macaques (a breed of monkey)."
*"Sheriff Says He's Convinced There Are No Animals At Large" written by Denise Yost yesterday, says:
- The rescued exotic animals are owned by Terry Thompson's widow
- The rescued animals will be quarantined at the Columbus Zoo
- The Wilds in Muskingum County a conservation center helped with the rescue
- The local zoo reached out to other zoos for possible placement of the rescued animals
Is the black cat a leopard? That is one lucky black cat.
The article and others enumerated the breeds and numbers of animals who died on Tuesday evening and Wednesday in Zanesville.
*More information was added to "Sheriff Says He's Convinced There Are No Animals At Large" and the title became "Big Cat Apparently Bit Animal Farm Owner's Head; Body Dragged" sometime Thursday. The embeddable video was added to the story as well.
