Stranger News: Gorilla Escaped London Zoo

Stranger News: Gorilla Escapes London Zoo

 

Kambuka, a 29 stone sliverback gorilla, escaped from his enclouse at London Zoo on October 13th, 2016, in a daring prison break.

 

The gorilla didn't need to break any doors, or bend prison bars, or smash through hardened glass. Nope. The doors to his enclosure were left unlocked.

 

Kambuka took a chance and opened the doors, making a bolt for it. He made it all the way to a secure keepers' area, where he encountered a rather surprised keeper who, after a brief discussion, left to get the gun.

 

Kambuka took the opportunity to down five litres of undiluted blackcurrant juice.

 

Shortly afterwards, the gorilla was tranquilised and then returned to his enclosure.

 

Now that's a lot of undiluted blackcurrant squash.

 

I can only ever manage about one litre. On one occasion, I managed two litres of undiluted blackcurrant juice.

 

And, yes, after that, they had to tranquilise me as well.
