Trivia
Each week's opening credits contain a pseudo-Latin heading referring to a contemporary news story. This week it is "Superbus Owlus" over a picture of Flaco, a Eurasian eagle-owl who escaped the Central Park Zoo when his enclosure was vandalized. He lived free for over a year, captivating the public as he hunted and perched on city structures. Flaco died in February 2024 after colliding with a building, with postmortem tests revealing he had suffered from pigeon herpesvirus and rodenticide poisoning from eating city pigeons and rats.
