A young wolf that broke out of a zoo in Daejeon, South Korea, was captured and returned to its enclosure nine days after its escape. The wolf, named Neukgu, was captured near an interchange in the city at 12:44 a.m. after search authorities received a tip that it was seen near a park. Officials shot Neukgu with a tranquilizer dart and captured it alive. A 2.6-centimeter-long fish hook was discovered in the wolf's stomach, along with a leaf and fish bones, and was safely removed due to the risk of perforation. The wolf is recovering, and the Daejeon metropolitan government is investigating the incident. The city's mayor thanked citizens and officials involved in the capture operations and apologized for the worry caused.
