Going ape: Tokyo zoo simulates gorilla escape with disguised staff members | Tokyo
Information | History | View | Sightseeing | Video
A Japanese zoo staged an emergency drill on Thursday, simulating a scenario in which the zoo's gorillas escape following an earthquake. Dressed in a gorilla-like costume, one member of staff ran through the zoo before being overwhelmed by other zoo workers with nets and 'sedated'. More than 150 members of staff were joined by members of local police and fire departments during the escape drill at Ueno Zoo in Tokyo. Toshimitsu Doi, the zoo's director, said the drill was successful and stressed the importance of being preparing for the unexpected. euronews: the most watched news channel in Europe Subscribe! http://eurone.ws/10ZCK4a euronews is available in 14 languages: http://eurone.ws/17moBCU In English: Website: http://www.euronews.com/news Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/euronews Twitter: http://twitter.com/euronews Google+: http://google.com/+euronews VKontakte: http://vk.com/en.euronews

I guess they had to shoot him (with a tranquilizer dart) in a "soft" spot...although there seemed to be a bit of "delayed action" effect. But don't you just love the expression on his face in the close-up!

1) Highly doubt a real Gorilla would be that calm and non-aggressive...
2) Somewhere there is a zoo worker who is now the office joke. -

La libertad no es esto
La libertad es dejarle
A él ir a donde desee. -
This is so stupid. Only the Japanese can think of a thing like this. If a real gorilla escape it would be doing a Godzilla all over the place.

It would seem the Japanese are very serous about that Planet of the Apes scenario...

Reminds me of Homer in the panda suit - with all the implications. :D
