Mischievous red panda that escaped from a wildlife park has been recaptured

This dramatic footage shows the moment a mischievous red panda on his second escape attempt from a wildlife park was recaptured after three days at large.

An island wide bear-hunt was sparked on Wednesday (8/1) after seven-year-old Kush fled from his enclosure.

Over the next few days the elusive bear evaded the search team, which included residents, police, local farmers and staff from Curraghs Wildlife Park on the Isle of Man.

However, when Kush was spotted up a tree at least 30ft high on Saturday (11/1) morning the crew rushed to the scene just before he was able to make a break for it.
