A sea otter drowned after becoming tangled in a pair of pants given to him by zoo staff members.
The death happened at the Calgary Zoo in Canada.
An investigation into the death of 12-year-old Logan revealed that a zookeeper gave the pair of pants to the otter as an “unauthorized enrichment item.”
The zookeeper and another staff member found to have broken zoo protocols were disciplined.
This error is simply unacceptable.
