LONDON (Reuters) – Chester Zoo, Britain's most popular wildlife attraction, was evacuated on Sunday after 30 chimpanzees escaped from their enclosure.
The animals made their escape at lunchtime and found their way into a keeper area where their food is normally prepared.
"We had an army of chimps eating their way through the keeper's kitchen and the decision was taken, quite rightly, to evacuate," a spokeswoman said. "By around 4 pm we had managed to get all the chimps back in their enclosure, some of them with very full bellies."
