Wait, don't clouded leopards have the proportionally largest canines of any wild cat? How can that be considered non-dangerous? (Also seems to me like some more states should enact similar laws, because wow.)

Yeah, clouded leopards have the largest canines proportionally to their body size of any extant (non-extinct) feline species. I was honestly pretty surprised to see Dallas say Nova wasn't dangerous. It's definitely not the same level of risk as an escaped tiger or lion, but that's... still a cat capable of doing a pretty serious amount of damage if you fuck with it. It may be that the comment was based on the fact she'd be more likely to hide and avoid people, whereas bigger cats might stalk or attack people? It does sound like they thought they could recapture her without danger to staff - I saw one article saying the SWAT team that responded was sent home. I'll be interested in finding out more for sure.

State laws regarding how zoos and sanctuaries operate are just weird as hell. One of the big projects I'm working on right now (with a lawyer colleague coauthoring) is combing through every state law and piece of regulation that mentions zoos and sanctuaries to see what we find. It's really all over the place. California is the only place that explicitly prohibits trespassing into exhibits; Rhode Island the only place that explicitly prohibits setting captive animals free; Louisiana has a law explicitly prohibiting hunting any current or previous zoo or circus animal (but AFAIK there's no hunt ranches in the state?). All of the specific things you'd expect to exist generally don't, unless there's been a significant incident that led for relevant stakeholders to pester the legislation to write it down. So Dallas will still be able to prosecute whomever cut those cages (if they want) but it'll be under laws that aren't specific to zoos.

Alright folks, important update re. Dallas Zoo.

The Emperor Tamarins are home, and are reacclimating well!

But with this also came confirmation that the Tamarins that were stolen were the Tamarins from the Lacerte Family Children's Zoo, not the Tamarin Treetops as i previously thought.

So that means enclosures in 3/5 of the park have been compromised.

Zoo North, which houses the Clouded Leopards and Langurs.

Wilds of Africa, which is across the grounds from Zoo North and houses the Lappet-Faced Vultures

Lacerte Family Children's Zoo, which houses this pair of tamarins.

The Children's Zoo is linked to Zoo North through a walkway, similar to the way Giants of The Savanna connects to Wilds of Africa.

While there is still a geographic proximity for 3/4 of these incidents, it's less clear cut than initially thought

cats of all types and sizes are god’s perfect killing machines and i can only hope and dream to achieve the raw athletic potential and destructive force that felids are capable of. all while looking like :3

#saw a vid of a puma meowing #comments were filled with ‘i would try to pet this and die’ #as well as ‘if not fren then why fren noise :(‘ #and i have to agree. it is a fucking travesty that these beasts are not domestic. breaks my heart that i cannot ethically pat a puma #what i wouldnt give to either have as a friend or BE an amur leopard #or a clouded leopard #ugh. #felidae #jordan talks

I love when big cats sit in a tree, it looks so comfortable somehow.

Cats love to do this because it combines the power of 'being high up above everyone else' and the power of 'napping is my greatest talent ever'
