Zookeepers say a group of chimpanzees used branches weakened by a storm to make a ladder and escape from their enclosure at the Belfast Zoo.
Video filmed Saturday by visitors to the Northern Ireland zoo showed several primates scaling a wall and perching atop it, with one walking down a path outside the enclosure.
Zookeeper Alyn Cairns said trees in the chimps’ enclosure had been weakened by recent storms, allowing the animals to break them and fashion a ladder to escape.

I’ll bet it was Davy.
Or maybe that prankster, Peter.
Chimps are extremely dangerous once they reach puberty.
Yes. Their strength has been estimated to be five times that of a fit human male.
Come dinner time, they’ll be back.
People see trained chimps on TV and in movies and anthropomorphize them. Underestimate them at your peril.
EXTREMELY GRAPHIC!!!

Yes. Much more like humans, imho. Not only do they have large mouths and teeth, they have arms and hands similar to humans. This is an interesting article:

It’s Ireland they all provably went to the local pub!
Apparently the chimps have learned to speak English. Zookeepers say they heard the apes shout “We didn’t come here to act monkeys for everybody,” followed by “Did the Japanese sit down and have dinner with Pearl Harbor before they bombed her?” After much shrieking and bellowing among the pack of simians, the first one climbing up called out “Well fellas, lets go!”
I have it on good authority that this is actually what the chimps were doing before their attempted escape:

Mel Brooks is a genius.
It’s called “monkey branching”.
I think.

AOC would still be struggling.... and would break a nail
And they’re ugly, too.
Not that it matters when they’re ripping your face off.
““Did the Japanese sit down and have dinner with Pearl Harbor before they bombed her?”
Those chimps are morons. Everyone knows it was the Germans who bombed Pearl Harbor.
Clint Eastwood movies had orangutans, not chimps. Orangutans are gentle as primates go.
I see.
What a difference the species can make.
:)
Wow, that is pretty amazing.
