Ape Found After Short Lockdown At Albuquerque Zoo

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Albuquerque's zoo went into a brief lockdown after an ape went missing from its enclosure. The zoo had visitors stay inside for about an hour Saturday morning after Tika, a 2-year-old siamang, got through a hole in some mesh. Zoo officials say Tika did not go far. Zoo keepers made a larger hole for the ape to get back into the exhibit and be with its mother. Dana Feldman, of the City of Albuquerque, says a tree branch may have caused the initial tear that led to the hole. The mesh was already scheduled to be replaced within the next two months.
