Flaco the Escaped Central Park Zoo Owl Dies
February 26, 2024
The beloved owl, Flaco, has died. He became a celebrity after a vandal let him out of his cage at the Central Park Zoo. Flaco's life suddenly ended when he flew straight into the window of a high-rise building in Manhattan. His body was discovered on the sidewalk. A necropsy determined that the impact appeared to have been to the body since there was a substantial hemorrhage. A memorial for Flaco continues to grow beneath his favorite tree in Central Park.
