Last week, a young wolf burrowed under a fence at his zoo in the South Korean city of Daejeon and escaped - becoming the country's newest, furriest fugitive.
Since then, the hunt for two-year-old Neukgu has undergone twists and turns, captivated the country and even inspired an eponymous meme coin.
Despite the more than 300 firefighters, police officers and military troops deployed find him, Neukgu has eluded capture for a week and counting.
There were some near misses: the day after his escape, Neukgu showed up on thermal imaging cameras as a glowing blob weaving through foliage near Daejeon O-World, the zoo and theme park from which he had broken loose.
But authorities lost track of him while replacing the battery of the camera drone, local media reported.
