Animal rescuers in the Netherlands said one of three meerkats that escaped from a private zoo last month was recaptured when it wandered into a resident's kitchen.

Knegt managed to catch the African animal in a basket and the meerkat was taken to an animal sanctuary to be examined by a veterinarian.
The meerkat was one of three to escape from retired businessman Jan Knoppert's private zoo last month.
Stichting Dierenhulp Westland said a second meerkat is believed to have been killed when it was struck by a vehicle, and the third remains on the loose.
