A wild fox broke into the Smithsonian's National Zoo outdoor flamingo habitat, killing 25 American flamingos and one northern pintail duck. Three other flamingoes were injured.
The fox got in through a “softball-sized hole” in the enclosure. A softball is 12” in circumference. See “The Fox and the Fence” for more on chest size and the remarkable ability of red fox to squurze through small spaces.
