400 lb. Goriilla Gets Loose
You know, people often talk about the 400 pound gorilla in the room that everyone refuses to notice. I guess Bokito, the Dutch gorilla, was tired of being ignored… so he broke out of his enclosure at the Rotterdam Zoo, terrified the guests, and bit a woman before he could be tranquilized. Oops.
A 180kg (400-pound) gorilla has escaped from its enclosure and run amok at Rotterdam zoo in the Netherlands.
Witnesses reported seeing the gorilla, a dominant male, climb the enclosure’s wall and apparently bite a woman, as well as injuring three other people.
The zoo was evacuated as the gorilla was subdued by a sedative dart after it sought refuge inside a zoo building.
The Diergaarde Blijdorp Zoo, which was packed with visitors on a holiday weekend, later reopened.
Many people in the Netherlands were taking advantage of a national holiday to make a long weekend.
The 11-year-old gorilla, called Bokito, managed to climb a high wall to escape from his enclosure.
