Speaker 2: the cutting room floor today, I.

5
00:00:32,884 --> 00:00:35,043
Speaker 1: Saw a story in the Washington Post that I think

6
00:00:35,164 --> 00:00:38,004
Speaker 1: is fun. I think it's fun. Oh yes, it's fun.

7
00:00:38,204 --> 00:00:38,484
Speaker 3: Good.

8
00:00:38,763 --> 00:00:43,804
Speaker 1: It's about animals escaping from zoos. And what started this

9
00:00:44,324 --> 00:00:47,844
Speaker 1: journey of research that they've done is on June eighth,

10
00:00:48,364 --> 00:00:51,484
Speaker 1: ed the zebra was dangled from a helicopter in the

11
00:00:51,484 --> 00:00:56,324
Speaker 1: Tennessee Skies, ending eight glorious days of freedom on the run.

12
00:00:56,524 --> 00:00:57,164
Speaker 3: I saw that.

13
00:00:57,964 --> 00:01:01,124
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it got the people at the Washington Post

14
00:01:01,524 --> 00:01:05,084
Speaker 1: wondering how many animals actually escape from zoos, and I

15
00:01:05,204 --> 00:01:07,844
Speaker 1: found more than ninety different species that have weaseled out

16
00:01:07,884 --> 00:01:09,924
Speaker 1: of captivity in the past one hundred and thirty years

17
00:01:10,003 --> 00:01:14,524
Speaker 1: or so, including weasels. As I say here, every animal

18
00:01:14,644 --> 00:01:18,244
Speaker 1: escape story is about a prisoner breaking out, like shawshank redemption,

19
00:01:18,604 --> 00:01:21,884
Speaker 1: like you're rooting for the underdog, said the psychologist Justin

20
00:01:21,964 --> 00:01:25,844
Speaker 1: greg So. He theorizes that when a captive animal breaks free,

21
00:01:26,644 --> 00:01:30,203
Speaker 1: something shifts in our perception and they become an individual.

22
00:01:30,764 --> 00:01:33,324
Speaker 1: Let's work through some of the escapees, shall we sure

23
00:01:33,644 --> 00:01:35,923
Speaker 1: what kind of animals escape, They say, all kinds of

24
00:01:35,924 --> 00:01:36,804
Speaker 1: animals escape.

25
00:01:36,884 --> 00:01:38,684
Speaker 3: Well, birds would be pretty good, would they that?

26
00:01:38,804 --> 00:01:41,244
Speaker 1: Well, the birds aren't the main escapee, I.

27
00:01:41,203 --> 00:01:42,844
Speaker 2: Know if you put them in an avery. But one

28
00:01:42,844 --> 00:01:44,804
Speaker 2: time I was at the zoo and I was watching ibers.

29
00:01:45,084 --> 00:01:48,244
Speaker 2: It had jumped into an animal enclosure.

30
00:01:48,164 --> 00:01:48,804
Speaker 3: Wandered around.

31
00:01:48,844 --> 00:01:50,444
Speaker 2: They had a bit of a peek at the stuff,

32
00:01:50,884 --> 00:01:53,964
Speaker 2: and then jumped out and flew off. It was like,

33
00:01:54,084 --> 00:01:55,964
Speaker 2: you know, just do you think, well, is it most

34
00:01:56,404 --> 00:01:58,444
Speaker 2: monkeys that were in the in the enclosure?

35
00:01:59,404 --> 00:02:02,924
Speaker 1: Well one of monkeys because they are primates? Are they primates? Yes,

36
00:02:03,084 --> 00:02:07,244
Speaker 1: have a sense of their imprisonment or not. Whether these

37
00:02:07,284 --> 00:02:08,564
Speaker 1: go this is what it is today and this is

38
00:02:08,564 --> 00:02:10,364
Speaker 1: where I eat and I'm safe and I'm comfied.

39
00:02:10,964 --> 00:02:13,484
Speaker 3: You do wonder about that. Maybe it's a privilege to

40
00:02:13,524 --> 00:02:14,164
Speaker 3: live in a zoo.

41
00:02:14,404 --> 00:02:19,484
Speaker 2: You're not getting hunted by other predators, regular food, regular

42
00:02:19,564 --> 00:02:20,724
Speaker 2: sexual intercourse.

43
00:02:21,244 --> 00:02:23,284
Speaker 3: Exactly. I might sign up.

44
00:02:23,244 --> 00:02:25,484
Speaker 1: Things to throw your fecal matter at people.

45
00:02:25,564 --> 00:02:28,964
Speaker 3: Just come bus go gay how he comes the tourist group, make.

46
00:02:28,884 --> 00:02:32,604
Speaker 1: Like Hashmi to something, draw me like one of your

47
00:02:32,603 --> 00:02:35,964
Speaker 1: French girls. Well, the primates seem to be the biggest

48
00:02:35,964 --> 00:02:41,004
Speaker 1: group of escapes monkeys definitely feelines, and that's disturbing because

49
00:02:41,004 --> 00:02:42,964
Speaker 1: they don't have domestic cats in zoos, so they'd be

50
00:02:43,004 --> 00:02:44,684
Speaker 1: scary cats I'd imagine.

51
00:02:44,444 --> 00:02:46,324
Speaker 3: Were tigers lions, says he.

52
00:02:46,444 --> 00:02:50,524
Speaker 1: Bovines are also who has cows in a zoo or

53
00:02:50,524 --> 00:02:56,324
Speaker 1: maybe buffalo and things. Birds make up a smaller percentage

54
00:02:56,324 --> 00:02:58,964
Speaker 1: than you would imagine, and only three fish have escaped.

55
00:02:59,844 --> 00:03:01,364
Speaker 1: But let me talk you through some of the some.

56
00:03:01,284 --> 00:03:02,844
Speaker 3: Of the estra that would get very far.

57
00:03:03,524 --> 00:03:06,004
Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you some of the stories. About one

58
00:03:06,084 --> 00:03:09,603
Speaker 1: in five escapes from the data at the Washington found

59
00:03:09,923 --> 00:03:13,364
Speaker 1: were never recaptured, a few were presumed dead, most of

60
00:03:13,483 --> 00:03:17,644
Speaker 1: thought or known still to be thriving out there on

61
00:03:17,724 --> 00:03:21,523
Speaker 1: the lands. Live in the life. The animals that get

62
00:03:21,564 --> 00:03:26,163
Speaker 1: the furthest The pink flamingo really tell you where they've gone.

63
00:03:26,163 --> 00:03:31,444
Speaker 1: They've ended up in all kinds of places. Of one

64
00:03:31,483 --> 00:03:35,484
Speaker 1: of the pink flamingos regularly showed up in Texas and

65
00:03:35,564 --> 00:03:39,523
Speaker 1: another one made its way to Minnesota. This is from

66
00:03:39,564 --> 00:03:43,964
Speaker 1: a zoo in Kansas, so that's a long way. Let's

67
00:03:44,004 --> 00:03:45,484
Speaker 1: have a look at some of the other things. Here

68
00:03:46,484 --> 00:03:51,284
Speaker 1: my mom in nineteen fifty eight, Cyril, the sea lion

69
00:03:51,884 --> 00:03:56,284
Speaker 1: swam over one hundred miles from his Canadian theme park

70
00:03:56,484 --> 00:04:01,124
Speaker 1: to Ohio. His name was and Ferb. The tortoise was

71
00:04:01,124 --> 00:04:04,324
Speaker 1: gone for two months in Oklahoma last year. He was

72
00:04:04,363 --> 00:04:07,364
Speaker 1: finally found about one hundred feet from his home.

73
00:04:08,964 --> 00:04:10,683
Speaker 3: Well, Ferb's got his own home as well.

74
00:04:10,764 --> 00:04:14,124
Speaker 1: He's got his shell, He's got his shell. He could

75
00:04:14,324 --> 00:04:15,164
Speaker 1: bed down for the night.

76
00:04:15,444 --> 00:04:16,084
Speaker 3: He goes anyway.

77
00:04:16,084 --> 00:04:18,924
Speaker 2: It's like a gray haired nomad, so not a very

78
00:04:18,964 --> 00:04:19,444
Speaker 2: quick one.

79
00:04:19,764 --> 00:04:22,604
Speaker 1: The zebra as we escape, as we said before, has

80
00:04:22,684 --> 00:04:25,164
Speaker 1: escaped in Tennessee. Lots of kids have gone crazy about that.

81
00:04:25,884 --> 00:04:30,164
Speaker 1: Ken and orangutang apparently repeatedly got out and strolled around

82
00:04:30,244 --> 00:04:33,164
Speaker 1: San Diego Zoo in the eighties. Strolled around, strolled around,

83
00:04:33,204 --> 00:04:34,244
Speaker 1: stealing people's cigars.

84
00:04:34,364 --> 00:04:36,044
Speaker 2: Yeah, having a look at it inside the case, you

85
00:04:36,044 --> 00:04:37,084
Speaker 2: are willing to be in there.

86
00:04:38,164 --> 00:04:41,684
Speaker 1: Britain's Brown Bears Mission Lucy escaped their enclosure and went

87
00:04:41,724 --> 00:04:44,844
Speaker 1: to the food store and stole a week's worth of honey.

88
00:04:46,684 --> 00:04:52,724
Speaker 1: Phil one hundred one thousand pound water buffalo escaped Slaughter

89
00:04:52,844 --> 00:04:55,204
Speaker 1: last year and for days showed up on trails and

90
00:04:55,284 --> 00:05:00,724
Speaker 1: doorbell cams in Ohio. So got to have an abatar, no,

91
00:05:01,004 --> 00:05:04,164
Speaker 1: I think, Oh maybe yeah, yeah, yeah.

92
00:05:04,004 --> 00:05:06,244
Speaker 3: I'd rather be you've got reason to break out of

93
00:05:06,284 --> 00:05:06,844
Speaker 3: an abatwar?

94
00:05:07,484 --> 00:05:09,924
Speaker 1: What about this one? She she run chimp in the Ukraine,

95
00:05:09,964 --> 00:05:12,444
Speaker 1: became an instant star in twenty twenty two thanks to

96
00:05:12,484 --> 00:05:14,924
Speaker 1: a video of zoo keepers bringing her back on a bicycle.

97
00:05:15,804 --> 00:05:17,604
Speaker 3: She put a chimp on a bike. And that's just

98
00:05:17,844 --> 00:05:19,604
Speaker 3: that's comedy right there, right there.

99
00:05:19,604 --> 00:05:21,724
Speaker 1: Didn't you have a pet turtle?

100
00:05:21,964 --> 00:05:22,804
Speaker 3: Turtle? Turtle?

101
00:05:22,844 --> 00:05:25,124
Speaker 1: What's it instead of tottle on turtise? One lives in

102
00:05:25,124 --> 00:05:25,604
Speaker 1: the water.

103
00:05:25,404 --> 00:05:27,844
Speaker 3: It doesn't. Yeah, yeah, this was a turtle.

104
00:05:28,524 --> 00:05:29,404
Speaker 1: And how did it go?

105
00:05:30,164 --> 00:05:31,924
Speaker 3: I forgot what his name? Herb I think his name

106
00:05:31,964 --> 00:05:32,644
Speaker 3: was her Herbal.

107
00:05:33,124 --> 00:05:34,244
Speaker 1: And how did he disappear?

108
00:05:34,644 --> 00:05:35,724
Speaker 3: He just ran away.

109
00:05:38,604 --> 00:05:41,204
Speaker 2: Dad drooled a hole in his shell at the edge,

110
00:05:41,524 --> 00:05:43,644
Speaker 2: and it was supposedly a little string on it would

111
00:05:43,724 --> 00:05:46,284
Speaker 2: keep him near his little water water dish, which was

112
00:05:46,364 --> 00:05:49,324
Speaker 2: just an upturned frisbee, so it wasn't a lot of water.

113
00:05:50,164 --> 00:05:51,684
Speaker 3: We didn't know much about turtles back.

114
00:05:51,684 --> 00:05:52,964
Speaker 1: And then how did he break the string?

115
00:05:53,564 --> 00:05:55,564
Speaker 2: It wasn't a strong bit of string because he didn't

116
00:05:55,604 --> 00:05:57,243
Speaker 2: use a big drill bit, so it was only a

117
00:05:57,284 --> 00:05:58,404
Speaker 2: thin bit of strength.

118
00:05:58,244 --> 00:05:59,964
Speaker 1: A bit of strength in the turtle.

119
00:05:59,764 --> 00:06:03,804
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and he ran away or he got munch

120
00:06:03,844 --> 00:06:04,644
Speaker 2: by a German chap.

121
00:06:04,684 --> 00:06:06,804
Speaker 3: But I don't know. I think dad might have been

122
00:06:07,404 --> 00:06:08,284
Speaker 3: candy coating the.

123
00:06:08,204 --> 00:06:10,164
Speaker 1: Story ship would bart through that shell.

124
00:06:10,524 --> 00:06:13,724
Speaker 2: They can flip them oment month straight into that soft underbelty.

125
00:06:13,804 --> 00:06:14,803
Speaker 1: It sounds like you had to go.

126
00:06:17,164 --> 00:06:20,884
Speaker 2: You've had turtle soup prendan if you've been eating your

127
00:06:20,924 --> 00:06:22,644
Speaker 2: pet again.

128
00:06:25,284 --> 00:06:25,964
Speaker 3: You don't do that.

129
00:06:26,204 --> 00:06:29,004
Speaker 1: Don't do that, especially missus waiting for it.

130
00:06:30,324 --> 00:06:33,724
Speaker 3: OK, that's it for today. You back them all for more.

131
00:06:33,884 --> 00:06:35,644
Speaker 3: Toy had Cat Road
