Overview

• Officials removed closure seals on October 14 after determining the zoo advanced on urgent corrective measures.
• An October 8–11 inspection reviewed 493 animals and found no skin issues similar to those observed in the bear known as Mina.
• Inspectors verified biosecurity protocols in critical areas, including proper PPE use, perimeter reinforcements, live traps for feral species, and improved waste handling.
• The zoo presented 29 negative PCR results for animals housed near Mina to rule out leptospirosis spread.
• Five underweight animals—a black jaguar, white rhinoceros, white African lion, African elephant, and a female chimpanzee—are receiving medical treatment as part of the corrective actions.
