In South Korea, hundreds of people are searching for a wolf that escaped from a zoo in Daejeon - a city with a population of 1.5 million people in South Chungcheong Province, located in the center of the country. This is reported by UNN with reference to The Guardian.
Details
According to a representative of the Daejeon fire department, more than 300 people are involved in the search operation, including firefighters, police officers, and military personnel.
According to media reports, a male wolf, born in 2024 and weighing about 30 kg, escaped on Wednesday from a zoo in the O-World theme park in the city, which is located about 150 km south of Seoul - the capital of South Korea.
Because of this, local authorities, for safety reasons, closed a school in the area where the wolf was last seen. A fire department representative noted that drones with cameras were used in the search, but they had to be recalled due to rain.
We conduct daily inspections of each enclosure before opening, and it turned out that one wolf was missing. After reviewing CCTV footage, we confirmed that it dug under the enclosure and escaped.
Recall
In Kyiv, a resident of Obolon was charged with animal cruelty for keeping a wolf and a fox in her apartment.
