While Nova the clouded leopard is on the run, sister Luna remains safely inside her enclosure at what is the oldest and largest zoo in Texas.
A Texas zoo has been forced to close after a clouded leopard named Nova escaped from its enclosure, with police joining in with the search.
The escapee is thought to be hiding somewhere in the grounds of the 106-acre zoo, the oldest and largest in Texas. The zoo's latest appeal, labelling the incident a"Code Blue", amassed hundreds of thousands of views on Twitter."Its habitat is a dense forest, and it is designed for life in the treetops," the zoo tweeted."If you think you see the animals, please do not approach the animal."The zoo asked that if anyone saw Nova,"they should take a photo and DM us".
