Orangutan Escaped by Swinging in ‘Cartwheel-Like Motion’ and Climbing Down Tower: Toronto Zoo

The Toronto Zoo says it has determined how one of its orangutans managed to briefly escape from its outdoor habitat on Thursday evening.
In an update on Saturday, Aug. 31, the zoo said videos and photos sent by members of the public who visited the orangutans’ enclosure on the evening of Aug. 29 helped it gain a better grasp of how Kembali, a male orangutan, “was able to climb down the tower and access the area just outside the habitat.”
“From there he was able to climb down the tower.”
The zoo said in its Aug. 31 post that it is now consulting with international experts “to determine what modifications are required for the outdoor habitat to re-open in the coming weeks.”
