Panda escapes confinement in Copenhagen Zoo
    2020-06-11  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

HUMANS are not the only ones tiring of confinement during the coronavirus pandemic — a panda escaped from his enclosure at Copenhagen Zoo on Monday.

Xing Er, a 6-year-old male panda — soon to be 7 — then took a tour of the zoo, which was closed at the time.

He was spotted on a surveillance video “leaving his enclosure, slipping under an electric fence,” zoo spokesman Jacob Munkholm Hoeck said.

The animal wandered around the zoo until an employee noticed it and called a security team.

“The veterinarian of the zoo anaesthetized the panda and he was brought back to the enclosure,” Hoeck said.

“There he was given an antidote and woke up a couple of minutes later.”

Xing Er was not harmed and there were no human injuries.

Bengt Holst, the zoo’s chief scientist, said in a statement that security around the enclosure will be “carefully examined” to “make sure (it) doesn’t happen again.”

Xing Er and his female mate Mao Sun — who did not take part in his escape — arrived in Denmark in April 2019, on loan from the Chinese city of Chengdu. (SD-Agencies)
