A 300 pound gorilla escaped from his exhibit at Boston's Franklin Park

2003_9_littlejoe.jpgA 300 pound gorilla escaped from his exhibit at Boston's Franklin Park Zoo, injuring a teenager, and grabbing, throwing down, and then jumping on a 2 year-old girl. Then "Little Joe" wandered on the streets for 2 hours, before being sedated by zookeepers. As this was his second escape, Gothamist can only assume that Little Joe was making a fast, albeit violent, break for it, looking for the Limo Liner, to head to New York, where our animals are simply depressed.
