Police patrolling Toronto's High Park early Wednesday morning came across some escapees from a local pen: llamas, a wallaby and a yak.

The animals had escaped from the small zoo located inside the park after someone cut the chains and broke the locks on the enclosures housing the yak and the wallaby.

A large hole was cut in the fence to the area housing the llamas.

Both the north and the south gates to the zoo were open and unlocked.

Police and zoo workers were able to round up all the animals — four llamas, one yak and one wallaby.

The animals are all accounted for, and there were no injuries, according to police and zoo staff.

Police are asking for the public's help in tracking down whoever cut the locks and chains.
