Have You Seen Gladys?: MN Zoo Is Missing Its Eurasian Eagle Owl
The Zoo said it believes the owl is still on its property, but those who think they've seen Gladys are asked to call the police department.
APPLE VALLEY, MN — The Minnesota Zoo announced Tuesday on Twitter that it is searching for its Eurasian eagle owl, Gladys.
During a routine training session earlier this month, MNZoo’s Eurasian eagle owl, named Gladys, flew off to a tree & didn’t return. Staff have been tracking Gladys around the Zoo. While she’s likely to be within the 485-acre, forested Zoo, we wanted to make our neighbors aware. pic.twitter.com/kgx1X4qFif
