The zoo closed after \u201can anonymous phone call reporting a bomb threat,\u201d the facility said at the time.<\/p>\n The Miami-Dade Sheriff\u2019s Office sent deputies, including specialized units, to conduct a \u201cthorough sweep of the property,\u201d the agency said Friday.<\/p>\n The call came in around 2 p.m.. At 3:30 p.m., the sheriff\u2019s office was asking people to stay out of the area.<\/p>\n The sheriff\u2019s office told the Miami Herald that the call was likely a hoax, but deputies were nevertheless checking the area.<\/p>\n Miami Herald Staff Writer David Goodhue contributed to this report.<\/p>\n This story was originally published March 14, 2026 at 3:13 PM.<\/p>\n
