As the wolf Neukgu, which escaped from the Daejeon O-World safari, remains at large a week after the breakout, a real-time tracking page created by citizens has even appeared.
According to social media on the 15th, the homepage for "Where are you going, Neukgu Map" is spreading.
The homepage neatly organizes figures such as the number of days since Neukgu's escape, the search radius, false reports, and capture traps. Neukgu's movement route and most recent sightings are compiled in a map format based on media reports and announcements from search authorities.
Card news summarizing Neukgu's profile and the latest news articles, as well as "frequently asked questions" related to this incident, were also posted.
The creator said it is "an independent project run for the purpose of providing information in the public interest and simulating news data," and noted that "it is not an official service of Daejeon O-World, the police, or fire authorities."
As Neukgu's escape drags on, citizens are actively joining efforts to capture the wolf.
On the 14th, the tipster who spotted Neukgu and reported it to the authorities had been tracking the wolf for six days. Through the person's social media, the tipster said of the moment Neukgu was found, "I couldn't see it even after searching for six days, and it finally showed up."
A tracking team dispatched in response to the report moved in to capture the wolf and confronted it to subdue it with a tranquilizer gun the next day, but the attempt ultimately failed when Neukgu broke through the capture net and fled.
Search authorities plan to continue drone searches centered on the location where Neukgu was last spotted. During the day, personnel will be deployed to prevent the wolf from slipping out to other areas, and at night, drones will be used to search.
