Summary:
Cheyenne, an orangutan at the Kansas City Zoo, escaped from her enclosure by unscrewing four bolts and removing the Plexiglass window. Zoo officials said any human would need a wrench to unscrew the bolts. Cheyenne was tranquilized and returned to captivity and the Plexiglass was replaced with steel.
