” They are two monkeys, one male and a female, great, you weigh between 70 and 80 kilos of weight, “he said, adding that in an ape that size, anesthesia” takes about five minutes to take effect and the animal can get nervous and attack people. ”
The two chimps fled the safari zoo of Sa Coma, in the east of Mallorca, on Monday to 12.30. “It seems that broke the bars of the cage where they were not sure what we have,” said the spokesman of the Civil Guard. “These are animals that are very strong; can he raise his arms twice its weight, “he said.
The search for the male continues Tuesday in a wooded and mountainous area. First, they try to “catch him without hurting him, but if not possible, if there is no choice, have to swing it too,” added the same source.
