Zoo keepers stuck in trap as lynx remains on the loose

The escaped lynx from Dartmoor Zoo is still on the loose - but the zoo has managed to trap two of its own keepers.


They went into a large humane trap which has been built in the area where the wild cat is hiding out - and couldn't find the exit.

The lynx has already foiled attempts to catch him in smaller cage-type traps - managing to remove some of the meat without getting captured.

Zoo staff are trying to close in on the lynx and say it's a delicate operation - which the public can help by keeping away from the area.
