Muskox gets out of enclosure at Winnipeg zoo, but can’t make great escape
Winnipeg’s Assiniboine Park Zoo is investigating how a muskox got out of its enclosure.
It happened Friday when a 200 lb. male muskox escaped its holding area, though it didn’t get out of a secondary containment area.
“What we do know is that after the fact, the gate was partially open and we have not been able to identify mechanical failure at this point,” said zoo spokesman Gary Lunsford.
The zoo said no one was at risk during the incident. Staff sedated and relocated the animal quickly.
