| Martin attempting his escape |
A curious sun bear's attempted escape at Nagoya's Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens was caught on camera by a park visitor on May 8.
The sun bear, named Martin, was seen peeking over the wall separating
his enclosure from the public recently at the zoo in Kyoto and keepers
used long poles to poke, prod and lightly whack the Southeast Asian bear
when he climbed atop the wall.
The foiled escape attempt was recorded by a park visitor, who posted the footage to YouTube.
Zookeepers said climbing is Martin's favorite hobby and he can often be seen scaling walls and other surfaces.
The zoo director said that wire mesh will be installed today to keep Martin in his enclosure.
