The Toronto Zoo reported that a 17-year-old Sulawesi babirusa named Bucky was fatally injured after entering an area occupied by a rhinoceros, Vishnu. Despite the team's rapid response, Bucky could not be saved. An investigation has been initiated, with initial findings suggesting that human error was involved. The babirusa, a vulnerable species from Indonesia, was one of the oldest in North America and beloved by many. The zoo is focused on continuing the investigation and supporting its team members during this distressing time.
Despite our team's swift response, we were unable to save him, indicating the tragic circumstances surrounding Bucky's injury and subsequent death, which has prompted a thorough investigation.
The early findings indicate that human error played a role in the incident, highlighting the need for improved safety protocols within the zoo to prevent future occurrences.
