A 492 pound orangutan escaped from his cage and terrified restaurant patrons today, at the same Taiwan zoo where a crocodile recently chomped off a veterinarian's arm.

The latest incident at the Shaoshan Zoo in the southern city of Kaohsiung began when the orangutan pushed his way out of his cage and wandered into a nearby restaurant courtyard.

As zoo officials scurried to bring the animal under control, he gleefully overturned picnic tables and motorbikes, forcing terrified diners to cower inside the eatery.

The orangutan was finally subdued when an official shot him in the upper body with a a stun gun. He was then carted off for treatment in the scoop of a small bulldozer.

Wednesday's incident occurred just six weeks after a 200-kilogram (440-pound) crocodile chewed the forearm off veterinarian Chang Po-yu at the same zoo.

The limb was reattached in a seven-hour surgery.

If you aren't an ape, you wouldn't have gotten the memo. I think it's a result of zoos starting to allow their apes to use the internet. They get on one of those Simian Nation websites and plan these rampages...

that'll be great to see how that develops.
