Summary:

(Fall of 1991) Five orangutans escaped from their enclosure at the Woodland Park Zoo in the Fall of 1991. Two males and three females squeezed through an opening in the enclosure door. The zoo was shut down for three hours while workers used fire hoses and finally tranquilizers to capture the orangutans.
