The Greater Vancouver Zoo remains closed Wednesday and the search for at least one escaped wolf continues.
The zoo, which has nine adult grey wolves and six pups, has not confirmed how many escaped or remain unaccounted for.
The Ministry of Environment said Monday one wolf remained at large but the zoo has not confirmed numbers at this time.
The zoo issued a statement Tuesday afternoon calling the animals’ escape suspicious, and suggested it was “due to malicious intent.”
