Gorilla on rampage at Dutch zoo

Kristoph · 19 May 2007 at 02:07

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.

Roflmao! Actually belived it for a bit, lol.

In any case, good on the gorilla I say. I'd be pretty ****ed off too if I was trapped in some silly zoo, with all these monkeys staring at me all day.

The gorilla in that looks photoshopped to me, but that's probably cos I'm tired.

I thought Benjo had photoshopped it for a laugh. Must be a joke, you can tell it's fake.
