Following a string of gorilla escapes, officials from the US Department of
Agriculture have given the Los Angeles Zoo one year to make its gorilla
enclosures more secure. The zoo has asked the mayor of Los Angeles for
$333,000 to raise the walls of two enclosures. Jim, a 160-kilogram,
12-year-old gorilla, has been housed in a metal cage after he jumped out of his
enclosure last summer and roamed the zoo for six hours. Evelyn, a female
gorilla, holds the record for break-outs, having escaped seven times in the past
20 years.
