A racoon-like creature which absconded from Belfast Zoo more than a week ago is still on the loose, the zoo has confirmed.

The white-nosed coati from Belize escaped on Monday 19 July. A spokesperson for the zoo said there had been no reported sightings of it. The mammal was being held in quarantine after just arriving at the zoo. It had been hoped the female would take part in a breeding programme with several other coatis recently imported.
