The otters are back home, but managers at Baraboo’s Ochsner Park Zoo say two owls are still missing.
Police say someone cut some locks on zoo enclosures late Monday night or early yesterday morning. Zookeepers found the damage, and panicked. A pair of kayakers found the otters in the river near the zoo, but the owls remain missing. The zoo’s Ellen Gallagher says whoever cut the locks probably wanted to free the animals, but says since the owls don’t know how to hunt their freedom may end-up costing them their lives.
