Bears raid honey store after enclosure escape sparks wildlife park evacuation

European brown bears Mish and Lucy escaped their enclosure at Wildwood Devon near Exeter, causing a park evacuation. The adventurous bears headed straight for a honey store, consuming a week's worth of honey, prompting trained firearms staff and police to respond. The park's emergency procedures were deployed efficiently, ensuring the safety of visitors as the bears explored staff areas before peacefully returning to their enclosure. An investigation is ongoing to determine how the bears managed to breach their enclosure for the first time at the park.
