Zoo Gorilla Escapes, Bites Keeper, Tranquilized

A 400-pound (180-kilogram) gorilla that escaped from its cage at an upstate New York zoo and bit a zookeeper has been captured in a zookeepers’ lounge and has been tranquilized.

The Buffalo Zoo says a 24-year-old male gorilla named Koga got out of his cage into an aisle where the keeper was working Monday morning and bit her on the hand and calf.

The keeper locked herself in with the zoo’s other gorillas and called the animal escape team.
