June 16 (UPI) -- A yellow mongoose escaped from a wildlife park on Britain's Isle of Man and was spotted in a city 15 miles away.

The juvenile mongoose, named Gef, escaped from the Curraghs Wildlife Park in Ballaugh last week by burrowing out of the enclosure where the animals are housed.

Park Manager Kathleen Graham said officials have been searching the area around the park, but were surprised to receive a call saying Gef had been spotted about 15 miles away in the Douglas area.
