Two bears ESCAPE at UK zoo with visitors locked down and cops scrambled as bosses probe how they got out
TWO escaped bears channelled Winnie-the-Pooh — and made a beeline for the zoo's honey store. Mish and Lucy, both 5ft and 30st, were caught on CCTV nosing through supplies before guzzling a week's worth of the sweet sticky treat. 5 Two bears escaped from their enclosure and guzzled a week's worth of honey Credit: Supplied 5 The incident was caught on CCTV at Wildwood Devon, in Escot Park, near Exeter Credit: Supplied 5 The zoo had just had a huge food delivery an hour before Credit: Supplied 5 Mish and Lucy wandered back to their enclosure for a nap after the feast Credit: Neil Hope Visitors were ushered into secure buildings and the satisfied five-year-olds wandered back to their £100,000 enclosure for a nap. Mark Habben, director of zoo operations at Wildwood Devon, in Escot Park, near 'It was still in boxes and they made their way straight to it. 'They tore into containers and also smashed a jar of peanut butter.' read more on uk news Police headed to the scene while staff monitored the European brown bears but a zoo spokeswoman added: 'Mish and Lucy posed no threat. 'They enjoyed a selection of snacks — including the honey — before being safely returned to their enclosure by the keeper team within the hour. 'Then they fell asleep.'

The pair soon settled in and became firm favourites with its visitors. Mr Habben said: 'We are investigating how they got out — but we suspect they've gone through an unlocked gate. 'We've managed bears for 21 years and never had an incident like this. 'Mish and Lucy are going to be on a restricted diet.
