WIBW Chimpanzees, one seen sitting on a fence, have reportedly escaped the Kansas City Zoo, leading to a hunt for the wild animals inside a behind-the-scenes area of the park. It was an escape Caesar himself would be proud of.
Chimpanzees have reportedly escaped their enclosures at the Kansas City Zoo creating a scene perhaps reminiscent of one from the film, “Planet of the Apes.”
A wide-spread hunt for the wild animals is said to be currently underway but confined to a behind-the-scenes area inside the since shuttered zoo, KSHB reports.
WIBW The zoo has since been closed and the animals are believed to be confined to one area of the park. Zoo officials say they are working to determine exactly how many chimps have escaped.
A zoo representative was not immediately available for comment, but the Kansas City police were ready to chime in on the excitement.
20th Century Fox Licensing/Merch It wasn’t immediately clear how many of the chimps escaped in perhaps a revolt, comparable to the 2011 film, ‘Rise of the Planet of the Apes,’ pictured. In a video tweeted to the zoo around 6 p.m., the police department shared a hilarious video of a 300 lb chimp seen attacking a Kansas City police car in 2010 with background music from none other than the hit 60s band, “The Monkees.”
“Best of luck to @KansasCityZoo staff corralling (sic) chimps!” they tweeted them. “We know 1st-hand it’s a dangerous situation.”
The wild chimp filmed by the police department was described as a pet that escaped before attacking a patrol car. It was eventually captured without injuries.
