Lab Monkeys Escape Japanese Facility By Using Branches to Catapult Over Electric Fence

A group of 15 monkeys at Kyoto University’s primate research institute escaped from a high-security research center by learning how to use tree limbs to catapult themselves over a 17ft high electric fence. One of them was named Dr. Zaius. Ok, I made that last part up but it is clear that our monkey overlords are gathering.
A Japanese scientist stated “we were extremely surprised by the intelligence and the power they used in order to escape.” Sure, that how it all began . . .
For now, the monkeys have been recaptured and their catapult branches trimmed. However, they have tasted freedom . . . and power.
