“We have no idea what time Fluffy escaped or where she went,” said zoo director Gerry Durrell during a press conference on Wednesday morning. “We are searching the grounds of the zoo but so far we haven’t a clue.”
According to the zoo’s chief biologist, Kitty Smith, the Durham community should be highly cautious of Fluffy, who is an extremely dangerous carnivorous animal. “If these cats are cornered –or encountered on a dark night – their defense is to kill, and to kill quickly,” said Smith. “We urge anyone who encounters Fluffy to get slowly to the ground and lay still.”
Police and zoo workers alike carried high-powered rifles as a precaution as they frantically searched the grounds for Fluffy. According to Police Chief William Blair, the Durham police department plans to expand their search into the neighborhood after the zoo has been thoroughly searched.
“We are concerned because this is a residential neighborhood with an elementary school,” said Blair. “We don’t want Fluffy wandering around after the kids get out of school.”
