Jin the otter finally returned home
Published: July 10, 2006
Jin, the evasive Auckland Zoo otter, was back home on Monday after spending four weeks on the loose.
Jin escaped from the zoo almost a month ago, by digging through two walls and scaling a 1.8 metre high barrier around her enclosure.
She was finally captured on Monday morning at Islington Bay, in the causeway between Rangitoto and Motutapu, after being spotted by a fisherman.
Amy Dixon, a carnivore keeper at Auckland Zoo, who collected the wayward otter and brought her home says she appears to be in good condition.
She says Jin will be quarantined for a month before she is allowed to join the zoo’s other otters.
