The Asian elephant was put to sleep Tuesday at the Bronx Zoo where she lived for almost a half-century.
Jim Breheny, Director of the Bronx Zoo, said a female sea lion was able to swim out of her pool due to flooding of the plaza caused by the heavy rain.
The wayward bird had been perched in the tree since before 8 p.m. Wednesday night, after flying off zoo grounds.
A crowd gathered around the peacock perched at E.180th Street and Vyse Avenue.
Radiographs showed that the alligator had ingested a bathtub stopper about 4 inches wide.
The Bronx Zoo's annual Holiday Lights experience is back, bringing education and fun through technology, to the beloved animal park.
