According to zoo officials, Nixon will not be released back into the wild if he recovers. Because he was orphaned at such a young age, he was unable to learn how to survive in the wild from his mother.

On November 21st, the zoo announced that Nixon was euthanized due to the progression of multiple health issues and the severity of said issues.
