Escape

A chimp makes weapons and plots the death of zoo visitors, this orangutan just wanted to escape:
The ape, a 27-year-old female named Karta, jammed a stick into wires connected to the fence and then piled up debris to climb a concrete and glass wall at the Adelaide Zoo.

Zoo curator Peter Whitehead told reporters Karta sat on top of the fence for about 30 minutes before apparently changing her mind about the escape and climbing back into the enclosure.

"I think when she actually got out and realized where she was ... she's realized she shouldn't be there so then she's actually hung onto the wall and dropped back into the exhibit," Whitehead said.
Actually, what happened is she saw all the stupid humans outside the fenced area and did a pro/con list of living on the outside. She finally decided life was probably better for her on the inside.
