Vandals damage gorilla enclosure at Prague Zoo

Vandals damaged the gorilla enclosure at Prague Zoo on Saturday night. They evidently got in to the enclosure over a frozen moat, before throwing about rubbish bins, signs and other items which had been nearby, a zookeeper said. The gorillas do not use the run in winter so the attack did not endanger their lives, unlike a previous occasion when somebody threw apples studded with nails into their enclosure. The gorillas are among Prague Zoo’s most popular animals and were the focus of the world’s media during a project in which they were constantly monitored by cameras in a parody of “reality” TV.
