Summary:
Several African Painted Dogs escaped their main exhibit area into an enclosed backup yard. Although zoo officials claim there was no danger to the visitors, they called a Code Red, ushering about 200 people on the zoo gorunds into buildings. The dogs were eventually coaxed back into their exhibit. The zoo is fixing the fence.
