Gorilla beats up man in zoo

Gorilla beats up man in zoo

A man visiting the zoo was brutally attacked by a gorilla, leaving him with serious injuries.

The incident took place at the Brookfield Zoo in Chicago, Illinois on Sunday. According to police, the victim was walking through the ape exhibit when a male gorilla charged towards him and began attacking.

The victim, who is in his mid-30s, was taken to a hospital with severe head and body injuries. He is currently in a critical condition.

Zoo officials say that the attack was likely unprovoked and that they are investigating what may have led to it.

This is not the first time that a human has been attacked by a gorilla at Brookfield Zoo. In 2014, another visitor was bitten on the hand after reaching into the enclosure.

Gorillas are considered to be one of the most powerful creatures in the animal kingdom and can be incredibly dangerous if provoked.

Angry gorilla goes on rampage at zoo

A gorilla at the zoo went into a rampage, smashing windows and throwing objects around its enclosure.

Zoo officials said that the gorilla, which they identified as Boris, had been tranquilized and was now in quarantine.

Visitors to the zoo said that they were shocked by the sudden outburst.

"I couldn't believe it when I saw the gorilla smashing the windows," said one visitor. "It was like something out of a horror movie."

The zoo has promised an investigation into what may have caused Boris's rampage.

Gorilla scales fence of zoo and escapes

In what can only be seen as an embarrassing escape for the zoo, a gorilla was able to scale the fence and make his getaway. Zoo officials are scratching their heads as to how the gorilla was able to get out, as the fence is designed to keep animals in, not out.

The gorilla, who has been at the zoo for six years, was last seen scaling the fence and making his way into the surrounding forest. Zoo officials say that they have no idea how he was able to do it, but they are reviewing security footage to try and piece together what happened.

This isn't the first time that a zoo animal has made a break for it - in 2012, a wolf escaped from its enclosure at a zoo in Missouri. And in 2004, a tiger escaped from a wildlife park in Texas. But it is certainly one of the more high-profile incidents.

It's unclear at this point what will happen to the gorilla now that he's on the loose. Zoo officials say that they are working with local authorities to try and find him, but it's possible that he may never be found. In the meantime, they are reminding people not to approach him if they see him, as he may be dangerous.

Zoo keeper attacked by gorilla

Zoo keepers are in shock after a gorilla attack that left one keeper with serious injuries.

The incident occurred at the Brookfield Zoo in Illinois on Sunday morning when a 34-year-old male gorilla named Kong went on a rampage.

The zookeeper was reportedly showering Kong with watermelon when the animal became agitated and began to attack him.

Video of the incident shows the gorilla repeatedly punching and slapping the keeper as he screams for help.

Kong was eventually subdued with a stun gun and taken into custody, while the injured keeper is being treated in hospital.

Zoo officials say this is the first time a keeper has been attacked by a gorilla in the Brookfield Zoo's 96-year history.

"We are saddened by this event and our thoughts are with our team member who was injured," said zoo spokesperson Jim Plunkett. "He is currently in stable condition and we hope for a full recovery."

Animal rights activists have seized on the attack as further evidence that gorillas should not be kept in captivity.

"It's time to release these animals into their natural habitat," said PETA spokesperson Jane Dollinger. "They don't belong behind bars."

Gorilla shot dead after attacking zoo keeper

A gorilla at the Cincinnati Zoo was shot dead by police Sunday after attacking a keeper, according to the zoo.

The gorilla, identified as 17-year-old Harambe, was killed after he dragged a female keeper around 10 feet and into a moat filled with water, officials said.

"Our first response was to call the gorillas out of the habitat. The two males responded immediately. The female remained in the habitat," Thane Maynard, Cincinnati Zoo director, said in a statement. "We then made the decision to enter the habitat. We were able to get four of our responders into the habitat. Simultaneously, we called for backup."

Maynard said that it "took lethal force to protect the keeper" and that there were no other options available to them.

Zoo officials initially tweeted that there was "no imminent danger" to the public and that they were "working hard to get him back into his exhibit." but later announced that Harambe had been shot dead.

The incident is still under investigation, officials said.
