Zoos are pretty controversial places. Keeping wild animals caged has its own set of unique draw
backs – especially when the spectators themselves aren't too bright. But sometimes zoos just
aren't able to keep their animals locked up. Since the modern zoo came into being nearly a
century ago, crazy zoo escapes have been a fixture of society. Sometimes, the animals are bored
of captivity and make a daring escape; other times, they just jump over the fence to stroll around
in the city. Today, we are going to look at some of the craziest cases of animals who escaped
from the zoo! Let’s begin:
Sneaky red panda
They’re known for mostly lazing about during the day, with their fur-covered bodies stretched
over tree limbs. But one red panda at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C., wasn’t spotted in
his normal habitat. In fact, he decided to escape and have a walk in the city. So, the Zoo took to
Twitter to recruit the public’s help. Accompanying a photo of the small woodland creature were
the vitals: “a missing red panda, a male named Rusty. He was last seen at 6 p.m. last night.”
Zookeepers wouldn’t reveal just how the panda escaped — or if it even left the premises. The
@NationalZoo Twitter account kept loyal red panda watchers up-to-date on the search for Rusty.
As word of the search quickly spread, D.C. residents vigilantly looked out for the adorable
animal, which resembles a cross between a bear and a raccoon. In the early afternoon, a photo of
Rusty scampering through a residential neighborhood was posted on Twitter — given the rarity
of red pandas, it was very likely Rusty. Within the hour, animal control teams had captured him
and put him in a crate, promptly herding him back to the zoo. The red panda has little in common

with its giant black-and-white cousins aside from a common Chinese heritage. But Rusty hails
from Nebraska, arriving in D.C. two months ago. His impromptu tour of his new city has come
to a safe end.

Trio of mischiefs
The thing about being a zookeeper is that you're really effective only if you're able to keep the
animals in the zoo. In July 1964, a zookeeper at the Fleishhacker Zoo, which is now the San
Francisco Zoo, had a really bad day. First, he got a call from the police saying they had captured
13 buffalo that zoo director Carey Baldwin didn't even know were missing. Five hours later, he
received another call. This time, again, a 300-lb. (135 kg) pygmy hippopotamus had escaped and
was taking a stroll down a nearby road. If you think that’s where it’d stop, you’d be wrong. A
short while later, a large South American rodent called an agouti made a run for it. A dramatic
chase ensued, and the little guy was eventually captured. At the end of his day, the guy told the
Associated Press he would review the zoo's security.
Lion
In 2015, a lion managed to escape a Chinese zoo. A maintenance worker aged 65 years old was
used to working inside the lion’s cage and was not afraid. However, one day he turned his back
to the lion and it threw itself on the man pulling away from his shoulders and part of his neck.
The man died from his injuries. The gate remained open and the lion escaped. Staff and visitors

were then evacuated but the lion was shot so it wouldn’t pose another risk. Unfortunately, not all
these stories have a happy ending!
Inmate No. 337
I don’t know about you, but I find it demeaning when prison guards start calling inmates by their
numbers and not by their names. I mean, yeah, they're crooks, but they’re still humans, well,
most of them at least. It seems that animal inmates don’t appreciate this too. In 2012, a Humboldt
penguin only referred to as Penguin 337 managed to scale a wall and squeeze through a hole in
the fence at the Tokyo Sea Life Park. It then remained at large in Japan’s capital city for nearly
two months before it was recovered. Perhaps most surprisingly, 337 was able to survive in the
city relatively unscathed. When he was spotted and recovered, a spokesman for the Tokyo Sea
Life Park said the penguin was in good health and had even managed to hunt successfully,
maintaining its weight throughout the ordeal. Well, this is Japan after all. Fish actually thrive in
their drainage systems so it’s not surprising that 337 found a lot to eat.
