Kush recuperating after recapture

Expected back in enclosure soon

Kush the red panda is said to be recovering well after his recent escape - and will be back out in his enclosure again shortly.

The Houdini of the panda world got out of the Curraghs Wildlife Park for a second time in recent months on Thursday.

He was spotted crossing over the road at Quarry Bends yesterday (Sat 11) and was recaptured from the top of a tree using nets later that day.

Park Manager Kathleen Graham says he's in good health - but it was important that they got him down from the tree both safely and quickly.
