All this frantic searches and turns out she was at the zoo. Its nice little laugh but they dont think she was here the entire time behind the gates here at the national zoo. Thankfully tonight thats where she is at. So heres the thing. It was apparently near the bird house exhibit today that some of the zoo keepers saw her so they rushed some of the other staffers to the area and they set up live traps and put our treats and walked away and 15 minutes later ollie comes into the trap and they get her unarmed and are able to take her to the veterinary hospital and as for what shes been doing the whole them theyre not quite 100 certain but they think she does what little cats and big cats do and thats that she was coming and going as she pleased. Lets take a look at video after they got ollie he back in safe and sound this is her as she got ready to go into the veterinary hospital and shes doing fine. Doesnt appea hurt or anything and theyre going to give her a full checkup. And lets take you through though whats been happening for the last few days.

They discovered a tear in mesh neating around heren closure that was big enough for the 25 pound bob cat to climb through. D. C. Police have been assisting zoo officials with the big search and there were a few alleged sightings. One person thought they saw her under a kara long massachusetts avenue and another sighting was. Reporter ed closer to theage hed ral. Zoo keepers probably think those sightings were here. The other we actually trapped her behind the bird house, its literally if you follow rock creek where her exhibit is she follows the creek an she went exactly where we thought she would have gone. If you follow that direction there is a substation along beach drive which abutts up against massachusetts avenue which all connects through the woods that come back to the bird house. And zoo keepers say other than small scratch on her paw they say ollie will be taken fine and if they had no doubt she could survive in the child if she had to, but, you know, this really had people talk ago roun the d.

Very cute. So zoo keepers will guv a full checkup again to ollie and make sure shes not getting into anything she shouldnt have while out of here. They hopefully will be able to get her bac with the other bobcats here soon. Tony and shawn. So you know its kind of funny when you think about where they found her im hoping that all the birds are accounted for. Yeah. At the bird house.
