An Andean bear named Ben, who weighs 300 pounds, escaped from his enclosure at the St. Louis Zoo for the second time this month. Officials were able to safely retrieve him.
The incident raised alarms at the zoo as visitors and staff were kept inside buildings during Ben's escapade.
The escape was Ben’s second this month as he managed to break out on Feb. 7 by tearing apart clips holding stainless steel mesh to the frame of the enclosure's door. During the incident, he remained outside the enclosure for about 90 minutes before he was safely returned.
