Final Escaped Raccoon Safely Recaptured on Isle of Wight

The Amazon World Zoo Park has reunited all four raccoon sisters after their daring escape from their enclosure.

  • The fourth and final raccoon was recaptured early Wednesday morning, completing the reunion of the escaped sisters.
  • The raccoons, named after US locations, escaped by breaking through the roof of their enclosure last Thursday night.
  • A community effort using tracker dogs and thermal drones aided in locating the elusive animals within the zoo premises.
  • The raccoons were not considered dangerous but could be easily frightened if approached by people.
  • The zoo has temporarily relocated the raccoons to a secure enclosure while repairs are made to their original habitat.
