Troubles at the zoo

I was just watching a video that I found on the BBC website about the attempt to recapture a chimpanzee that escaped his cage through an unlocked door. It was rather amusing; the chimpanzee was on a rooftop and two zookeepers were trying to recapture him. They were trying to shoot him with what I have to guess were tranquilizer darts, but the chimpanzee saw them and rushed them. The zookeepers tried to escape the rushing chimpanzee, but the chimpanzee actually grabbed one of the dart guns from one of the zookeepers! Fortunately the chimpanzee just tossed the gun aside – can you imagine an armed chimpanzee? They finally got the chimpanzee to come off of the roof using bananas as bait, but the video did NOT show the actual recapture scene. I hope they treated him humanely.
