Escaped Wolf at Tokyo’s Tama Zoo Captured
A European wolf escaped its enclosure at Tama Zoological Park, leading to visitor evacuations and closure; the animal was recaptured about four hours later, officials said.
- On Sunday, zookeepers captured a wolf that briefly escaped from its enclosure at Tama Zoological Park, catching it on the premises about four hours after it fled.
- Tama Zoological Park, which opened in 1958, houses some 260 species, and the escaped animal is one of two European wolves at the park.
- Visitors were forced to flee to safety inside buildings and were escorted within the zoo; no injuries have been reported, though a male visitor said he was curious how the wolf escaped.
- The zoo stopped admitting new visitors after discovering the escape and later announced the facility would not reopen that day, closing for much of Sunday.
- A zoo attendant spotted the wolf on a public pathway after the 9:30 a.m. opening, and the animal was recaptured inside the park at around 2:20 p.m.
