Mandrill escapes from the enclosure

That's deep

[@sped6954]

It's like the jail cells on The Andy Griffith Show. The keys to the cells are hanging on the wall right next to the end of the steel bars within easy reach of whoever is locked inside. All a detainee had to do was reach through the bars and a few inches over, and the keys were as good as in their hand. In spite of the fact that any time someone was put in the cell and had to have been watching where the keys, no one ever bothered to reach outside their cell and around the corner to let themselves out.

[@viktorbirkeland6520]

@@sped6954 it's like the Truman show, everyone has their script and can't act outside of it, so the people in the show wouldn't try to escape, as that would break with the story's intention! I love the Truman show, although it seriously gives me the heebie jeebies, just like the cabin in the woods! One movie that scared me as a kid, was "I am legend", just the concept of it. Another movie I watched as a kid for some reason was insidious, that's fucking nightmare fuel for a kid at 11 or whatever I was. Damn, I actually watched a lot of scary movies all throughout my childhood, I was scared of the dark etc anyways, so why not just add fuel to the fire and cause mental scarring aswell? :D

[@snoski]

Pardon my ignorance, but can you explain what you mean by "looking for the rotation"? I'm sure it's some meme, and people are going to laugh that I don't know it. I still would appreciate someone explaining it. Thanks.

[@Max-qo4ye]

@snoski Well, it has become a meme over the past few years, but it's also a legitimate activity. A "rotation" in this context refers to a blunt rotation/ joint rotation. There is a group of people typically standing in a circle sharing a blunt or joint. Theres a standard puff puff pass rule that ensures everyone standing in the circle gets some smoke. Now I say he's looking for the rotation because he's obviously a chill ass primate and the way he walks around looking at nothing leads me to believe that he smelled some dank and is searching for that dream rotation.

[@snoski]

[@HC3053suevus]

As also stated in the description and some answers to the following video by Biberklaus1: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoWYpZyobtOjfqs, the Mandrill male erupted from the enclosure on September 25th, 2011 in the zoo of my hometown Augsburg in Bavaria = in southern Germany. A week earlier the old mandrill male had died and the mandrill females didn't accept this younger male as the new boss (and lover) and so ended up attacking him massively, a small portion of which happened to be documented by psyraptor in his video above. For decades, baboons used to be housed in this outdoor enclosure and the monkey house behind it, and no baboon ever escaped. Later, the electric cables were then installed on the edge of the outdoor enclosure and on the inside of the outer wall of the moat, which ultimately led to this Mandrill man being able to escape from the moat; without the external electric cable, the mandrill could not have climbed the wall. How this story continued and fortunately ended mildly, as well as further informations about it, can be found in Biberklaus1's video, which I linked above, and in his often English answers to comments on it = after the attempts to capture and anesthetize the mandrill by the rather helpless zoo staff and the veterinarian were unsuccessful, the mandrill voluntarily swam back into the enclosure after about an hour without becoming aggressive; but after he burned his paws and feet on the power cable, he had to be nursed back to health for over a month and had to be kept separate from the other mandrills and was soon given to another zoo because the mandrill women still didn't accept him.

[@Chris-jw8vm]

Poor thing went through a ordeal huh. Must have taken a lot of willpower to balance on a live electric cable.

[@HC3053suevus]

@@Chris-jw8vm Yes, climbing the thin power cable was certainly quite painful for the mandrill, but obviously easier to bear than his fear of drowning and of "his women". 😉 I would have actually expected that he would have trembled constantly (from 1:14 in the video above) because of the many electric shocks, but I believe Biberklaus1's statement in one of his answers to his video I linked above that the cable was then actually electrified and the mandrill burned his hands on it. As far as I can remember, this detail was not mentioned in the report in our local newspaper "Augsburger Allgemeine", but according to one of his answers, Biberklaus1 has a season ticket for the Augsburg Zoo since many years (see also his many videos from there) and therefore certainly has this information from the animal keepers there with which he obviously talked about at some point after this event, and also in the scene from 0:36 in the above video it looks like the mandrill quickly lets go of the cable there, frightened because of the electric shock. The fact that the mandrill then behaved very peacefully was probably also due to the fact that he was pretty dazed from the many electric shocks, and I can only agree with the many comments here and in the video by Biberklaus1 that in particular the people with small children were hair-raisingly careless here and I can only hope that large catching nets are part of the obligatory equipment of every zoo today - see the helpless behavior of the animal keepers in the video by Biberklaus1 and the fact, which I can hardly understand, that the veterinarian only had a single tranquilizer dart with him at the time. (By the way, the filmmaker psyraptor of the above video is apparently a Hungarian who was probably on vacation in Augsburg at the time, and sorry that my english - and the google translator - might not be very good.) Kind regards from near Augsburg!

It has electric wire to deter them from even jumping into the water, but this was an extreme situation. Also there is electric wire near the outer side of the pool, where it climbs, but seemed to be inactive because otherwise it would have tried to get away from it instead of clinging to escape. There is some other video of a lion that is being chased by other rivals that want to kill it in an African park that is surrounded by electric fence too, much stronger than this. And the lion is so terrified of being caught and killed by the others that it doesn't give a damn about the electric shocks and just tries to go through the fence, and succeeds.
