CLEVELAND, OH – The Cleveland Metroparks Zoo is mourning the deaths of two longtime residents. Elsey and Brumby, a pair of dingoes who arrived at the zoo 14 years ago as pups, passed just months apart, the zoo said in a statement.
“Due to advanced age, reduced quality of life, and declining health, Elsey and Brumby were recently euthanized, mere months apart from each other,” the zoo said in a statement.
