Jacksonville Sheriffs Office (JSO) deputies answered an emergency call from officials at the Jacksonville Zoo & Gardens on Friday when a warthog named Mateo managed to escape and run away into the palmetto thicket when JSO deputy Sam H used a thermal camera and led a search party to locate the missing warthog. The search party were able to capture the warthog and take the animal back to the animal hospital for recovery. The warthog was found to be healthy and the warthog did not have any serious injuries. At least the drones were used to rescue an animal in this case.
