November 14, 2013 during a routine inspection it was determined that two to three coyotes killed two gazelle and a steenbok at the Los Angeles Zoo. It's possible that one of the gazelles killed was the one that only had three legs.

The USDA states that there must be a perimeter fence around the zoo animals so people and other animals cannot enter unauthorized. Coyotes can jump six foot walls and climb gates. The Zoo must correct this problem. In the meantime they are bringing small hoofed animals in at night and monitoring the area.
