Karta is a 27-year-old, 137-pound Orangutan who attempted an escape from the Adelaide zoo in Australia.
Karta stabbed a stick into the wires surrounding her enclosure causing a short circuit which allowed her to go near a glass fence that kept her from the public. The MacGyver of monkeys then built a makeshift ladder using sticks, grass and plant roots. Just when Karta was just about to jump over the wall, zoo officials rang the alarm and homegirl realized what she was doing. Karta dropped back into her enclosure. The zoo remains closed until officials secure Karta's enclosure. A zoo official said, ”She's an ingenious animal."
