Shirtless Man Claims to Be Tarzan, Tries Swinging Into Monkey Exhibit at O.C. Zoo...

Officers responded to the zoo — which is located at 1801 E. Chestnut Ave. — at around 10:30 a.m. Tuesday and discovered 37-year-old John William Rodenborn covered in mud, according to Cpl. Anthony Bertagna of the Santa Ana Police Department. He told them he was the fictional character Tarzan.

Before authorities arrived, a shirtless Rodenborn had allegedly attempted to get into the zoo’s bird exhibit before he tried to swing into the monkey exhibit, Bertagna said.

Kent Yamaguchi, the director of the zoo, told KTLA that the man was initially walking through the bird aviary, but then walked over to a tree outside the exhibit instead. The tree neighbors the enclosure where the zoo’s monkeys are kept.

Although he was on the back side of the monkey exhibit, the primates apparently never saw him.

I hope they weren’t mean enough to question his identity. I would no more do that to Tarzan of the Jungle than I would do it to Caitlyn Jenner.

They misheard him. He said he was Guitarzan.

Maybe he was trying to find the panther cage to stock up on ingredients for Panther Whizz ale.

DANG!

it would appear from the available evidence that he may very well have consumed far more Panther Whizz than even The Great Leader
