    Cliff Notes – Two young bears escape from wildlife enclosure

    • Two young bears, Mish and Lucy, escaped their enclosure at a wildlife park and consumed a week’s worth of honey during their brief freedom.
    • The public was safely secured while the bears were monitored until they returned to their enclosure and fell asleep.
    • An investigation is underway to determine how the bears managed to escape, with police responding as per standard protocol.

    Two young bears escaped from their enclosure at a wildlife park in Devon – and devoured a week’s worth of honey.

    In a tale straight out of Winnie The Pooh, Mish and Lucy immediately dashed for the food store during their hour of freedom at the Wildwood Trust site.

    Visitors were “promptly escorted to a secure building” – but a spokesperson confirmed the peckish pair were not a danger to the public at any point.

    “The bears were continuously monitored both on the ground and via CCTV until they calmly returned to their enclosure and fell asleep,” the statement added.

    Police attended the scene “in line with standard protocol” – and an investigation has been launched into how the four-year-olds managed to escape in the first place.

    “The exhibit is secure, and we are grateful to our staff and visitors for their cooperation, which helped us resolve the situation swiftly and safely,” the Wildwood Trust said.

    Mish and Lucy were abandoned by their mother in a snowdrift in the Albanian mountains.

    While several efforts were made to reintroduce them to the wild, conservationists soon concluded they could not survive on their own.

    A fundraising campaign meant the siblings could be transported to Wildwood’s Kent park in 2020 – and after six months, they settled into their “forever home” in Devon.

    Mish is a playful bear who enjoys splashing around in pools and swinging in hammocks, while Lucy “loves nothing more” than spending time with her brother and climbing trees.

    They feast on kilos of berries, fruits, vegetables, seeds, fish and meat every day.

    And honey… apparently.
