During Wednesday’s tropical storm, there was some fake news circulating about Essex County’s Turtle Back Zoo and the safety of animals.
Essex County Executive Joseph N. DiVincenzo, Jr. released this statement Thursday morning, dispelling the false rumors:
“The social media message stating that animals have left Essex County Turtle Back Zoo is unequivocally false. Turtle Back is an accredited facility that takes the care and welfare of our animals very seriously.

There was no loss of power and all of our animals and animal areas weathered the storm well and remain safe and secure within the facility.
