Colorado health officials are warning visitors to the Denver Zoo that a wild, rabid bat was found outside the bird exhibit on Sunday.

State veterinarian Elisabeth Lawaczeck urged parents on Wednesday to ask their children if they knew anyone who had contact with a bat.

A zoo employee is being treated for possible exposure after being bitten.

Zoo officials said the bat was not from the zoo and that all animals there are vaccinated. Birds are not believed to be at risk of getting the disease.

Officials are asking anyone who may have had contact with the bat to contact the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment immediately at 303-692-2700.
