					The two small monkeys who were found in a vacant house a day after being taken from the Dallas Zoo lost a bit of weight during their ordeal but show no signs of injury, the zoo said Wednesday.The disappearance Monday of the two emperor tamarin monkeys — named Bella and Finn — and the discovery that their enclosure had been cut was the latest in a string of unusual events at the zoo over the last few weeks, which has included other cut fences, the escape of a small leopard and the suspicious death of an endangered vulture.Dallas police said they found the monkeys — who have long whiskers that look like a mustache — late Tuesday afternoon in the closet of a home south of the zoo after getting a tip from the public. No arrests have been made.The zoo said Wednesday on Twitter that both Bella and Finn "started eating and drinking almost immediately" after they were examined, and the two were "so happy to snuggle in their nest sack" on Tuesday night."We will continue to monitor them closely, but for now, we're so glad they are safe and back with us," the zoo said in a Wednesday statement.Police had released a photo and video of a man they said they wanted to talk to about the monkeys and were still seeking him Wednesday.They are also trying to determine if the string of incidents over the last few weeks at the zoo are related or not.On Jan. 13, arriving workers found that a clouded leopard named Nova was missing from her cage, and police said that a cutting tool had been intentionally used to make an opening in her enclosure. The zoo closed as a search for her got underway, and she was found later that day near her habitat.Zoo workers had also found a similar gash in an enclosure for langur monkeys, though none got out or appeared harmed, police said.On Jan. 21, workers arriving at the zoo found an endangered lappet-faced vulture named Pin dead. Gregg Hudson, the zoo's president and CEO, called the death "very suspicious" and said the vulture had "a wound," but declined to give further details.The zoo said in its Wednesday statement that the incidents over the last few weeks have led officials there to "take a hard look" at security measures, saying that while what they've had in place has worked in the past "it has become obvious that we need to make significant changes."The zoo said it has already implemented additional security measures that have included adding more cameras, additional fencing and more patrols, and will make other changes as well.The zoo said that since Bella and Finn were taken away from the zoo, they'll need to undergo a quarantine period before they can return to their habitat there.Meanwhile, in Louisiana, officials said they have launched an investigation after 12 squirrel monkeys were discovered missing Sunday from a zoo in the state's southwest. Their habitat at Zoosiana in Broussard, about 60 miles west of Baton Rouge, had been "compromised" and some damage was done to get in, city Police Chief Vance Olivier said Tuesday.

											Look at this baby giraffe Go Albert the rothschild Giraffe was seen last month exploring his surroundings at the Chester Zoo in England. His mother, Orla, gave birth to him after a 15 month pregnancy on March 3rd. And although Albert's birth and life are much to be celebrated, the rothschild giraffes are very much in danger. Mike Jordan, director of animals and plants at the zoo, said once wide ranging across kenya, Uganda and Sudan, the rothschild's giraffe has been almost eliminated from these areas and now only survive in a few small isolated populations, adding that although conservation programs, such as the ones the zoo supports, are helping improve their numbers, quote, they're still threatened with habitat loss and ongoing poaching crisis, which has seen giraffes hunted for their tails to be used as good luck charms.<br />

					The Dallas Zoo says necropsy results from the recent deaths of two giraffes point to liver damage, suggesting a possible exposure to a toxin of some sort, either through a food source in the exhibit space, or introduced via a foreign object."We still have intense work ahead of us to find a possible link between these two deaths and determine what may have led to this. The lab results we depend on for diagnosis and confirmation simply cannot come fast enough – for us, and for you. We know it's difficult to hear about these losses," zoo officials shared via their Facebook page.Related video above: Endangered baby giraffe runs around enclosure at UK zooFourteen-year-old Jesse passed away on Oct. 29, despite aggressive treatment and heroic efforts by animal care staff, according to the zoo. He began showing first signs of illness on Oct. 27 and received intense medical care and observation until his ultimate passing. Blood test results showed abnormal liver enzymes, which immediately raised concerns over a possible connection to 19-year-old Auggie, who also died in October. The zoo said he was affectionately known as "Uncle Auggie" because of how sweet and gentle he always was with new calves.While zoo officials said they suspect the deaths are connected, they are still working toward definitive proof. They're doing extensive lab testing on blood and tissue samples from Jesse and Auggie to identify commonalities and further pinpoint what may have happened. They're also testing for Zoonotic diseases, including encephalomyocarditis.Outside experts from across the country have joined their efforts in continuing to work through lab test results on blood, tissue, food, plants, and other items, in an effort to identify the cause, while also working to eliminate possibilities.Zoo officials said that prior to Jesse dying, (and without knowing if there was a link between the two illnesses) they put preventative measures in place across their animal teams to isolate and protect the other animals. This included limiting giraffe movements and access to the habitat and feed yard.The nutrition team discarded entire supplies of some food items, replacing them with fresh crops while awaiting results from toxicology screens. Zoo workers continue to scrutinize food and browse intake to minimize possible risks from food sources as well. They're closely monitoring giraffe and similar hoofstock for any signs of illness and conducting regular blood draws to monitor liver enzyme levels, too. A change in those levels could be the first indication of an issue, according to the zoo.

<p>The Dallas Zoo says necropsy results from the recent deaths of two giraffes point to liver damage, suggesting a possible exposure to a toxin of some sort, either through a food source in the exhibit space, or introduced via a foreign object.</p>
<p>"We still have intense work ahead of us to find a possible link between these two deaths and determine what may have led to this. The lab results we depend on for diagnosis and confirmation simply cannot come fast enough – for us, and for you. We know it's difficult to hear about these losses," zoo officials shared via their Facebook page.</p>

<p>Fourteen-year-old Jesse passed away on Oct. 29, despite aggressive treatment and heroic efforts by animal care staff, according to the zoo. He began showing first signs of illness on Oct. 27 and received intense medical care and observation until his ultimate passing. Blood test results showed abnormal liver enzymes, which immediately raised concerns over a possible connection to 19-year-old Auggie, who also died in October. The zoo said he was affectionately known as "Uncle Auggie" because of how sweet and gentle he always was with new calves.</p>
<p>While zoo officials said they suspect the deaths are connected, they are still working toward definitive proof. They're doing extensive lab testing on blood and tissue samples from Jesse and Auggie to identify commonalities and further pinpoint what may have happened. They're also testing for Zoonotic diseases, including encephalomyocarditis.</p>

<p>Outside experts from across the country have joined their efforts in continuing to work through lab test results on blood, tissue, food, plants, and other items, in an effort to identify the cause, while also working to eliminate possibilities.</p>
<p>Zoo officials said that prior to Jesse dying, (and without knowing if there was a link between the two illnesses) they put preventative measures in place across their animal teams to isolate and protect the other animals. This included limiting giraffe movements and access to the habitat and feed yard.</p>
<p>The nutrition team discarded entire supplies of some food items, replacing them with fresh crops while awaiting results from toxicology screens. Zoo workers continue to scrutinize food and browse intake to minimize possible risks from food sources as well. They're closely monitoring giraffe and similar hoofstock for any signs of illness and conducting regular blood draws to monitor liver enzyme levels, too. A change in those levels could be the first indication of an issue, according to the zoo. </p>
