After four-year-old clouded leopard Nova escaped her enclosure at the Dallas Zoo on Friday, police officials launched an investigation and determined the fence surrounding her habitat was intentionally cut. Nova was found and safely secured, but it was reported late Saturday that a similar cut fence was found at a second enclosure, which contains the zoo's langur monkeys.

According to an updated report by The Dallas Morning News, police are still investigating and cannot confirm whether the two incidents are related at the moment. The monkeys never left their habitat and "did not appear to be harmed or in any danger."

The Associated Press reports that police and zoo officials have reviewed surveillance footage but would not say whether they found any potential suspects. The Dallas Zoo provided an update on Nova Saturday, tweeting that she has reunited with her sister Luna and "has settled right back into her routine."
