One of Two Otters Escaped from Wisconsin Zoo During Snowstorm Captured, Search Continues for Second Otter
Minocqua, WI – In a dramatic turn of events, one of the two otters that escaped from the Minocqua Northwoods Zoo in Wisconsin during a severe snowstorm has been safely captured. The otter, whose name is Loki, was found and recaptured on Tuesday evening, according to zoo officials.
The incident occurred on Monday afternoon when a powerful snowstorm hit the area, causing significant damage and disruptions. During the chaos, the enclosure of the two otters, Loki and his companion, was compromised, allowing the animals to escape.
Zoo staff and local authorities immediately launched a search operation to locate the missing otters. After an extensive search effort, Loki was found and recaptured on Tuesday evening.
However, the second otter, whose name is Miso, remains at large. Zoo officials and wildlife experts are working together to locate Miso, and a search party has been dispatched to scour the surrounding areas.
“We are relieved that Loki has been safely recaptured, but our focus now shifts to finding Miso,” said zoo spokesperson, Jane Smith. “We urge everyone in the area to be vigilant and report any sightings of Miso to us immediately.”
The zoo has set up a hotline for residents to report any sightings of Miso, and social media channels are being used to spread the word. Local residents are being advised to keep a safe distance from the area and to report any otter sightings to the authorities.
The zoo has promised a full investigation into the incident and has assured the public that the safety and well-being of both the animals and the community are their top priority.
As the search for Miso continues, residents and animal lovers alike are keeping their fingers crossed for a successful outcome.
