Exotic Incident #1047

Result:

Summary:

A gibbon at the Nashville Zoo, named Dixon, escaped from his habitat by jumping onto the shoulders of a keeper who was leaving the exhibit, and then leaping from there to a wooded area outside the enclosure. Zoo visitors were hurried to safety and remained protected until Dixon could be coaxed back into his habitat. He was then kept in “lockdown” while zookeepers determined how to prevent a repeat escape.
