In New York, Central Park Zoo officials say they are dropping efforts to capture Flaco, a majestic Eurasian eagle-owl that escaped captivity two weeks ago.
FILE - A Eurasian eagle-owl named Flaco sits in a tree in New York's Central Park, Feb. 6, 2023. The owl, who resided at the Central Park Zoo, flew the coop after someone vandalized its exhibit by cutting through stainless steel mesh, discovered on Feb. 2. Two weeks after his escape, zoo officials announced that it would, for now, be suspending rescue operations as it appears Flaco has regained his natural killer instincts for food, but would keep an eye on his health.
