The chimpanzee, the raincoat, and the bicycle.

In Kharkiv, Ukraine:

 

"A chimpanzee in caused a brief, heart-warming moment in war-torn Ukraine, when it escaped from a zoo and then was gently coaxed into surrender by its keeper and ridden home on a bicycle.... The zoo workers followed her without success until it began to rain. As the rain fell, Chichi allowed a zookeeper to wrap her in a yellow raincoat, and the two embraced...." (NY Post).

Lucky zookeeper, the chimp didn't decide to rip off a face.

I don't like this Neville Chamberlain-ish raincoat business. Smacks of appeasement. Next time, this ambitious beast won't be content to merely roam around Kharkiv. Everyone knows it has always been the chimp's dream to see the capitals of Europe. If it gets away with this first transgression, soon they'll be having to deal with it in Berlin or Paris. When will we learn?
Churchill would've used a tranquilizer gun.

More Azov propaganda trying to trick us into believe Ukrainian are human beings.

And now...back to the war!

Has the media harden us to the plight of domestic chimpanzees? I wouldn't view a wandering chimp as a whimsical character, but as a potential face ripper-offer. Good for the zookeeper, I wouldn't get near that thing.

They leave their coats behind

Yes, the article really did say, "A chimpanzee in caused a brief, heart-warming moment in war-torn Ukraine..."

Simple editing and proof-reading really have gone to hell. So annoying.

Touching.

The bike-riding chimp looks like, well….

There's an episode of Hogan's Heroes where the local zoo gets bombed during an errant air raid and lots of animals escape. Sergeant Carter befriends an escaped chimpanzee that the the prisoners name Freddie. Because there are so many soldiers around gathering up the escaped animals, our heroes cannot get out to deliver a needed radio part to the underground. [Spoiler on a 50 year old tv show ] They eventually are able to make the transfer by dressing Freddie in a small jacket, stashing the radio part in his pocket, sending him off with Schultz to the zoo, and having the underground pick it up from there.

So somebody in the Ukraine and/or Russian military better check that raincoat for radio parts.

I keep an extra face in the jar by the door, just in case my chimp acts up.

I think that video would have been perfect if the keeper had a big yellow hat.
