Finger Found Outside Jaguar Exhibit

[Analog]

ALBUQUERQUE -- A finger was found outside the jaguar exhibit at the Rio Grande Zoo a day after a groundskeeper spotted a frequent visitor running out with blood on his pants.

The man ran into a bathroom at the zoo Tuesday, said Director Ray Darnell. The groundskeeper followed the man and asked if he was OK, but the man turned and ran out of the zoo.

The finger found "was pretty dried up. It looks like a Halloween prop," said Rick Janser, mammal curator.

The man believed to be injured is in his 50s and is known to them as one of about 15 or so people who visit the zoo every day. He has a New Mexico Zoological Society pass, which enabled zoo officials to call him.

"Are you missing any fingers?" the man was asked.

"He'd be seen talking to him, sitting in front of his exhibit" every day for about the past year and a half to two years - except this Wednesday and Thursday, Janser said
