Escapist baboon returned to enclosure

An on the loose baboon has been returned to its enclosure at Brno zoo. The male baboon Heiko escaped on Thursday after scaling an electric fence. He was apparently panicked by the sight of a rifle which was going to be used to tranquilise a sheep which shared the enclosure. The escapee was eventually found on Saturday hiding in the zoo grounds. It is the second escape by the baboon. Heiko took advantage of a power cut to escape in 2007 and was only found two days later sharing a packet of biscuits with a golfer at a local course.
