Bomb threat believed to be hoax closes Zoo Miami, prompts evacuations

Later, they said in a statement:

“A potential threat was made against Zoo Miami. While the matter is believed to be a hoax, out of an abundance of caution, staff were evacuated and a security sweep of the park is underway. The sweep is expected to take several hours, and Zoo Miami will have a delayed opening today. There is no immediate threat to the public at this time. The safety of our guests, staff, and animals remains our top priority. Additional updates will be shared as appropriate, and the public will be notified once the zoo is cleared to reopen.”
