Lynx escapes from Devon zoo

Residents and schools near Dartmoor Zoo have been warned - after a lynx escaped from the grounds.


It was found to have escaped from its enclosure earlier this morning and a search of the zoo failed to locate it.

A police helicopter is now helping to look for the lynx, along with officers on the ground.

Anyone who sees the lynx shouldn't approach it as it may attack if cornered - they're urged to call 999.

Meanwhile a parody Twitter account has been set up in the name of Dartmoor Lynx.
