In a scene reminiscent of “Winnie the Pooh,” two young bears that fled their containment at a zoo in England were found in a food storage area, enjoying some honey and other treats.
Mish and Lucy, a pair of 5-year-old European brown bears, managed to escape their enclosure at the Wildwood Devon wildlife park in southwest England on Monday afternoon. They made a beeline for a staff-only food storage area, as detailed in Facebook updates from Wildwood Devon.
There, the duo feasted on a “selection of snacks — including a week’s worth of honey,” as noted in one of the social media posts.
Wildwood Devon, sprawled across 40 acres of woodland and gardens in Devon, England, houses a variety of animals, such as foxes, wolves, red squirrels, and bears.

In 2023, an Andean bear escaped from his enclosure at the St. Louis Zoo twice in one month. In one of his escapes, the bear managed to break out by tearing apart clips holding stainless steel mesh to the frame of the enclosure’s door.
Wildwood Devon and Devon and Cornwall Police did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
