For the second time in recent years, an Andean bear has escaped from the Saint Louis Zoo, causing quite the stir. The zoo was placed on lockdown as staff worked to locate and secure the bear.
According to reports, the bear had escaped its enclosure and was able to make its way to a nearby area where it was contained. The zoo issued a statement assuring visitors that the bear was never a threat to them and that the safety of both visitors and animals was their top priority.
This is not the first time that an Andean bear has escaped from the Saint Louis Zoo. In 2019, a similar incident occurred when the same bear was able to break free from its enclosure. The bear was quickly located and returned to its enclosure unharmed.
It’s not clear how the bear managed to escape its enclosure, but zoo officials are investigating the incident. They have assured the public that they will take all necessary steps to prevent a similar incident from happening in the future.
The Andean bear, also known as the spectacled bear, is native to South America and is the only bear species found in the region. While they are not considered endangered, they are listed as a vulnerable species due to habitat loss and hunting.
The Saint Louis Zoo is known for its extensive collection of animals from around the world and is a popular destination for families and animal lovers alike. While the incident may have caused some concern, visitors can rest assured that the zoo is taking all necessary precautions to ensure their safety.
The zoo has stated that they will continue to work with the bear and that they are committed to providing the best possible care for all of their animals. It is clear that the staff at the Saint Louis Zoo take their responsibility for their animals and visitors very seriously.
