Overview
- Deuk-gu, a young male wolf that slipped out of Daejeon’s O World, remains at large, and authorities think he has stayed within roughly six kilometers of the zoo.
- Search teams have focused on nearby Bomunsan using 10 drones and ground units, yet sweeps of the mountain have turned up no trace.
- Police and emergency officials ask residents to avoid Bomunsan and to call in sightings, after several public reports turned out to be false.
- City leaders say they may shift to a coordinated multi-agency operation if the current search does not make progress.
- Experts warn the captive-raised wolf lacks basic hunting skills and may struggle to survive outside managed care.
