NEW Zoo seeks two escaped river otters (VIDEO)

SUAMICO, WI — Be on the lookout for a pair of otters that escaped from the NEW Zoo in Suamico. Zoo officials say during the winter storm Thursday morning Louie and Ophelia, a pair of North American river otters broke through a small breach in buried fencing. A professional tracker is now working to locate the on-the-lam otters. Zoo officials say the otters are not a danger to the public and are unlikely to approach people. Zoo officials also say because otters are naturally territorial Louie and Ophelia likely haven’t gone far and may even return to their zoo enclosure on their own.
