Neukgu the Wolf: Nationwide Manhunt Ends

0:00On April 17th, a two-year-old wolf named Nugu escaped from a zoo in Daejeon, South Korea, sparking a nine-day nationwide manhunt that had everyone, glued to updates. The clever pup finally got naps safely early Friday near an expressway, thanks to drones, police, firefighters, and vets on the case. Earlier this week, rescuers nearly cornered him on a nearby mountain, but he dodged the perimeter and kept roaming. A driver even caught video of him trotting down a dark road under headlights, building the tension even more. The public was straight up anxious, flashing back to a puma from the same zoo that got killed during a capture-back in 2018. Even President Lee Jae-mi-ung stepped in, promising the team would bring Nugu home alive, which eased some nerves. They tranquilized him in a ditch, hauled him back, and vets pulled a fishing hook from his stomach, no other big issues, and he stable in quarantine. Now, away from the other animals, this little guy is a third-generation descendant from
