Summary:

Three Mexican gray wolves escaped from their exhibit at the Binder Park Zoo by slipping through small hole they created in the chain-link fence around the exhibit. Two of the wolves were quickly recaptured but the third, named Apache, scaled the zoo’s 9-foot-high perimeter fence. Apache was found dead two months later, apparently hit and killed by a train.
