Virginia, the wolf
Virginia is perhaps the most surprising entry on this list, not because she is a wolf, but because she did something completely unexpected in order to get out of her enclosure. She actually managed to escape from her Los Angeles Zoo multiple times in 1979 by climbing trees and fences. Also, after being on the loose for more than a month, zookeepers tried to catch her after she had been spotted in nearby Griffith Park but failed and it has been unclear to this day whether she was ever recaptured.
