The Topeka Zoo and Conservation Center is mourning the loss of a beloved ostrich who grabbed hold of and swallowed a staff member's key after reaching beyond her exhibit's fence.
Karen was euthanized Thursday and "passed away in staff’s hands," Topeka Zoo Interim Director Fawn Moser said in an email.
"We are devastated by the loss of Karen," Moser said in a statement. "She was not just an animal; she was a beloved member of our community. Our thoughts are with our dedicated animal care team, who formed deep bonds with Karen during her time with us."
