Search underway in South Korea for wolf that escaped zoo

Authorities are hunting for a wolf after it escaped from a zoo in Daejeon, a South Korean city with a population of 1.5 million, The Guardian writes.

More than 300 people – including firefighters, police and military personnel – are taking part in the search operation, an official from the Daejeon fire headquarters said.

It remained at large Thursday, authorities said, with a nearby school closing for safety as the search continued.
