ANIMALS ESCAPE FROM ZOO

Scotland Zoo was put in lockdown after some of the animals got into to wrong enclosure while being moved.

• News that the zoo had been closed, led to a frenzy of speculation that one of its dangerous animals had escaped and was on the loose.
• But after a short time, staff at the zoo said they had got the situation under control.
• A cool came to police this morning from the zoo to let us know that some chimpanzees, that were in the process of being moved from one building to another, and in the process of this they have perhaps gone into an area of that building that they shouldn't have been in.
• The zoo is renowned as a specialist primate zoo and has a wide variety of monkeys and apes.
• At no time were the public at risk, and no people or chimps were harmed during the incident, however it is part of our safety procedures that we close the zoo whilst such event are resolved. Investigations will commence internally and the zoo reopened.
