There was a very high profile escape last year https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c749nwrj1njo

This week, there has just been another one, albeit lower profile https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx2k98jkdnpo

Will this inspire further copycats (copybaras?) this year?

It must be reported in a news source that meets Wikipedia's standards for reliability.
