Gorilla on the loose in New York City!
Gorilla on the loose in New York City!
Residents of the Bronx were in for a surprise Wednesday morning when a 400-pound gorilla was spotted running loose through the streets!
"I saw it just darting through the street, and I couldn't believe it!" said one eyewitness. "It was like something out of a movie!"
The gorilla caused quite a scene as it ran through the streets, with people screaming and fleeing in all directions. Police were called to the scene but were unable to capture the animal.
"This is a serious situation," said NYPD spokesman Sgt. Martinez. "We are doing everything we can to locate this gorilla and bring him into custody."
The Bronx Zoo has been contacted and is helping police in their search for the animal. The zoo says that the gorilla may have escaped from its enclosure, but they are still investigating.
In the meantime, residents of the Bronx are advised to be on alert and stay away from any large apes they may see running loose in the area.
Gorilla Attack: Woman Hospitalized
A woman was hospitalized Saturday morning after she was attacked by a gorilla at the Cincinnati Zoo.
Witnesses say the gorilla, a 17-year-old named Harambe, dragged the woman around by her legs and feet for about 10 minutes before staffers shot and killed him.
The attack happened just before 10:30 a.m. Saturday when the woman, who has not been identified, fell into the gorilla enclosure. Witnesses say Harambe picked up the woman and began to drag her around.
"He was dragging her like he was going to kill her," Kimberly Ann Perkins O'Connor told The Associated Press.
zoo officials made the decision to shoot and kill Harambe after determining that the female could not safely be removed from the enclosure. Officials said that there were three other children in the enclosure at the time of the attack, but all were safe.
The victim was taken to University of Cincinnati Medical Center with serious injuries. Her condition is unknown at this time.
Gorilla spotted in Central Park!
Wildlife enthusiasts and residents of Manhattan were shocked to see a gorilla walking through Central Park Wednesday morning. The animal was initially spotted by a group of runners who were out for an early morning jog.
"I couldn't believe my eyes," said one of the runners, who asked not to be identified. "There's no way that's a real gorilla."
Authorities were called and soon arrived on the scene to assess the situation. After confirming that the gorilla was indeed real, they began trying to figure out how to get it out of the park.
While some people suggested tranquilizing the animal and moving it back to its natural habitat, officials ultimately decided to let it wander around for a bit longer before capturing it.
Gorilla forces closure of Central Park Zoo
On Wednesday, the New York City police closed down the Central Park Zoo after a large group of gorillas forced their way into the facility.
The animals were apparently agitated and seeking refuge from the cold weather. Some witnesses said that they appeared to be chanting or singing.
"It was pandemonium," said one zoo employee. "The gorillas were knocking over cages and tearing up plants. We had to shut down the zoo for safety reasons."
The police used tranquilizer darts to sedate the animals and eventually relocated them to a wildlife sanctuary in upstate New York.
Mayor Bill de Blasio commented on the incident, saying, "We are grateful that no one was injured, but I am very disappointed that the gorillas caused such disruption at the zoo. We will be looking into what measures need to be taken to prevent this from happening again."
People are afraid to go to the zoo after a gorilla escaped!
The zoo is a popular tourist attraction, but after a gorilla escaped, some people are afraid to go there. The incident happened on Friday, May 28th when a 17-year-old male gorilla named Harambe was shot and killed after he grabbed a 4-year-old boy who had fallen into the gorilla enclosure. The zoo director says that they made the decision to shoot Harambe because it was the right thing to do to save the child's life. Some people are criticizing the zoo director for making the decision to shoot Harambe instead of trying to tranquilize him.
I think that the zoo director made the right decision. If they had tried to tranquilize him, there was a chance that he could have become agitated and attack the child or someone else. It's always tragic when an animal has to be killed, but in this case, I think it was necessary.
