Summary:
A chimpanzee ran through a residential neighborhood after escaping from the Casa de Cheeta sanctuary for rehabilitation of show business primates. The 16-year-old chimpanzee knocked on residence doors and windows after the owner of the sanctuary forgot to latch the chimpanzee’s security door. A second security door was subsequently installed to prevent any further incidents.
