The Zoo announced the Red Panda named David Bowie died on Thursday. Vets believe the animal died from a mesenteric torsion, where the intestines twist and blood supply is cut off. David Bowie's keepers say he loved craisins, enjoyed climbing upside down and was always sweet and patient during training sessions.

Officials released details surrounding how the fire began Wednesday at the RainForest exhibit in the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo.

The former Rainforest exhibit, which has been under construction since last October, caught on fire. Cleveland Fire shared in a tweet on Wednesday that the fire was accidental.

The zoo experienced various types of precipitation on Thursday, including snow, rain, sleet and freezing rain.

As winter weather hits North Texas, the Fort Worth Zoo is taking special measures to ensure the safety of its animals. Despite experiencing snow, rain, sleet and freezing rain, the zoo staff are diligently working to keep the animals warm and secure.

In the wake of the 2021 winter storm that left a third of the Dallas Zoo without power, officials have implemented a series of measures to enhance its preparedness for the winter weather expected to grip North Texas Thursday and Friday.
