Cunning bears escape enclosure to raid food store

Mish
  • Two four-year-old bears, Mish and Lucy, escaped their enclosure at Wildwood Trust's site in Ottery St Mary, Devon, on Monday afternoon.
  • The bears immediately headed to their food store, consuming a week's supply of honey during their hour-long escapade.
  • Wildwood Devon confirmed the bears posed no danger to the public, and visitors were promptly escorted to a secure building as a precaution.
  • The expert keeper team safely returned Mish and Lucy to their enclosure within the hour, continuously monitoring them via CCTV.
  • Police attended the scene, and an investigation is currently underway to determine how the bears managed to escape.
