Pin
Although police have made an arrest in connection to the incidents at the zoo, there is still one sad mystery yet to be resolved. Shortly after Nova was found, the zoo found Pin, one of its endangered lappet-faced vultures, dead in his enclosure. Pin had been at the zoo for 33 years.
Zoo officials described Pin’s death as “unusual” and said it did “not appear to be from natural causes.” A necropsy conducted by the zoo found that the vulture had suffered a “wound,” although officials did not provide additional details.
Dallas police said on Friday that their investigation into Pin’s death was still ongoing.
