South Korean Zoo Successfully Recaptures Escaped Wolf Neukgu After Nine-Day Search
In South Korea, a two-year-old wolf named Neukgu, who escaped from the O-World zoo in Daejeon, was safely recaptured after a nine-day search. Neukgu had burrowed out of his enclosure on April 8, leading to a nationwide search effort that involved police, fire officials, and the military. The escape and subsequent search captivated the nation, with concerns about Neukgu's safety and potential harm during capture. The wolf was finally found and tranquilized near an expressway after an extensive search using drones and emergency workers. Neukgu was returned to the zoo in stable condition, where veterinarians removed a fishing hook from his stomach. The incident has prompted the zoo to review its security measures, and Neukgu will be kept in a separate area until he fully recovers.
