In Jeju Island, I've seen many articles that an animal called a 'mountainous maniac' escaped the zoo and the administrative authorities started to catch it.



Recently, on an online community, an article was posted, 'Is there anyone who lost their lives while raising them in Seongsan-eup or Pyoseon-eup?'



In the photo released together, one mountain maniac is standing up with thorns covering its entire body as if threatened.



The mountain maniac is a large rodent that lives mainly in Asia, Africa, and tropical Europe. When an enemy appears, it charges with a long, hard thorn up to 35cm in length. Although the thorn is not poisonous, it can be life-threatening if infected with a fungus or severely injured. there is.



Jeju Island saw this wild locust as one of two that escaped from a private zoo in Jocheon-eup, Jeju at the end of last month and started catching it.
