Escaped Chimp Gets Snack, Cleans Bathroom
Wednesday, January 17, 2007

Little Rock, Ark. (AP) --

An escaped chimpanzee at the Little Rock Zoo raided a kitchen cupboard and did a little cleaning with a toilet brush before sedatives knocked her out on top of a refrigerator.

The 120-pound primate, Judy, escaped yesterday into a service area when a zookeeper opened a door to her sleeping quarters, unaware the animal was still inside.

As keepers tried to woo Judy back into her cage, she rummaged through a refrigerator where chimp snacks are stored. She opened kitchen cupboards, pulled out juice and soft drinks and took a swig from bottles she managed to open.

Keeper Ann Rademacher says Judy went into the bathroom, picked up a toilet brush and cleaned the toilet. Rademacher says the 37-year-old Judy was a house pet before the zoo acquired her in 1988, so she may have been familiar with housekeeping chores. Judy wrung out a sponge and scrubbed down the fridge.

Bless Judy's heart. How sad that as magnificent an animal as a chimp would have been made into a cleaning pet. Hope she got a few of her favorite snacks.

Hi jezzie and Vicki:

I hope Miss Judy's sole purpose as a pet............wasn't just to help clean her owner's home. This story almost makes me cry............. :love:
