An otter that escaped from the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs just about two weeks ago remains at large.

Kitchi, a 2-year-old North American river otter, fled his pen on March 25 and zoo officials have been searching for him since.

A day after the escape Kitchi was spotted on a golf course and a camera confirmed the sighting when it grabbed an image of the otter in a culvert on the course.

But after a couple of wet, snowy spells of weather, Kitchi’s trail has gone cold.

“There have been no real developments,” said Sean Anglum, a zoo spokesman. “We’ve been taking calls from the public and checking them out.”

The zoo has fielded about three dozen calls since it established a hotline after Kitchi’s escape.

Zoo staff did pickup otter tracks on March 27 and 28, and they believe Kitchi headed east from the Broadmoor Golf Course, an area where there are lots of ponds and lakes.

Kitchi could be as far east as Fountain Creek by now, Anglum said.

Anyone who spots the otter is asked to take video or photos if possible and report the sighting to the Kitchi hotline at 719 648-7348.

Kitchi remains the talk of the town.

“He’s still at the top of people’s minds with everybody down here,” Anglum said. “Whether it’s at meetings or being out in the public, he’s still on everyone’s mind.”
