Developing: A peacock who neighbors have named Raul is hiding in the trees in the Bronx after apparently escaping from the Bronx Zoo. JohnBDias is there with the latest.
Zoo officials are keeping cameras on the other side of Krystal Garden so their lights don't irritate the bird.
Officials say they assume the peacock is theirs, since these birds are not native to the Bronx and they have hundreds of free roaming peacocks at the zoo. They expect it will fly back to the park around sunrise. In the meantime, they say people shouldn't get too close to it. On Wednesday, it allegedly bit a man. He will be OK, and it's unclear whether the attack was unprovoked.
