Gorilla at London Zoo downed squash during breakout

A gorilla who sparked a lockdown at London Zoo when he escaped from his enclosure spent some of his freedom downing five litres of undiluted blackcurrant squash. The 29st primate had been called for his food just after 5pm on 13 October and went through two doors that had been left unlocked before coming face-to-face with the zookeeper. Staff then raised the alarm as the 18-year-old western lowland gorilla explored the zookeeper's area, which was next door to his enclosure.
