There's an orangutan on the loose. Mopeds in a Taiwan zoo faced a grizzly fate when a 150kg beast escaped from his cage and went on the rampage. The animal got a brief taste of freedom before the zoo keepers faced him with "weapons and shields", tranquilised him and returned him to his cage. The video of the great escapee (complete with truly spectacular orange fringed fur) can be found at BBC News, or, with less commentary but available to viewers across the pond, at local news station wkyc.com. Fringe or no fringe, he can stay away from my scooter thank you very much...
ONE DAY SOON, FREEDOM SHALL BE MINE. MWA HA HA. (PHOTO: IMAGE00139)
Busy week for escaped primates from zoos! There was the gorilla in Rotterdam too.

When I look at the footage on the tv news, the primate "orang utan" merely expressing how stressful he is staying in the cage as he can be more healthy swing around in the jungle & doing his wild thing. That's why they're call wild animal. When he's out there from the cage, HE REALLY SHOWS SOME WILD STUFF. Look at the bright side, at least the government officials & the zoologist aren't paid salary for nothing. It's just part of the daily job.
