An otter that escaped from the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs about two weeks ago remains at large.
Kitchi, a 2-year-old North American river otter, fled his pen March 25, and zoo officials have been searching for him since.
A day after the escape, Kitchi was spotted on a golf course, and a camera confirmed the sighting when it grabbed an image of the otter in a culvert on the course.
But after a couple of wet, snowy spells, Kitchi’s trail has gone cold.
“There have been no real developments,” said Sean Anglum, a zoo spokesman. “We’ve been taking calls from the public and checking them out.”
Anyone who spots the otter is asked to take video or photos if possible and report the sighting to the Kitchi hotline at 719-648-7348. The Denver Post
