Gorilla escapes Melbourne Zoo

Posted on April 10, 2009 by by scoop


A Gorilla escaped his enclosure at Melbourne Zoo yesterday.

The incident happened around closing time and all remaining visitors were moved into buildings, including the gift shop and cafes.  The ABC reported

The Gorilla was walking around the Zoo for about 20 mins before the zoo keepers were able to take him back to his enclosure.

  4. I’m often surprised that the banana strategy is not more effective in our home ….

    at least it wasn’t as bad as the woman who wanted to “meet” the polar bears in berlin….
    bananas don’t look like a person, but a person looks like a seal…
