Escaped wolf Neukgu captured after nine-day search in South Korea

A two-year-old wolf that escaped from O-World zoo in Daejeon, South Korea, has been safely recaptured after spending nine days on the loose. The male wolf, Neukgu, was born at the zoo in 2024 and is part of an initiative to restore wolves resembling those once native to the Korean peninsula.
