Chichi's Big Adventure in KharkivChichi the chimpanzee once lived in Feldman Ecopark, an outdoor zoo near Kharkiv, Ukraine. He was evacuated due to Russian shelling earlier this year and taken to the Kharkiv city zoo. Chichi was one of the lucky ones, as more than 100 animals at the Feldman Ecopark died during the early weeks of the war with Russia. More recently, Chichi went on his own adventure when he escaped the zoo and wandered around the city for a few hours. Zookeepers followed him, but could not persuade him to come back home. Until it started raining. A zookeeper had a jacket she offered to Chichi, who went right up to her to get it. By then he was ready to go home, and got a ride on a bicycle. He didn't even have to pedal himself! It's amazing what a little wet weather, and probably hunger, can entice a juvenile chimp to do. -via Fark#chimpanzee #chimp #escape #Ukraine
