A gorilla at Melbourne Zoo (Melbourne Zoo) tried to escape Friday afternoon, forcing the park to close, the Daily Mail reported.
Visitors were forced to evacuate (Sumatran Orangutan) Malu (Malu), a 16-year-old Sumatran orangutan at the Melbourne Zoo, who fled at about 3 p.m. Friday. A few minutes later, however, Malu was seized again, ending his brief journey of freedom.
