Video shows Chichi eventually being persuaded to put on a yellow hooded jacket, before being returned home perched on a bicycle, after briefly roaming through Ukraine’s second largest city.
. It was not until a timely intervention from the heavens in the form of rain that her Ukrainian zookeepers were able to convince Chichi to return home — with a little help from a jacket and a bicycle.
“Chimpanzees are highly intellectual creatures, it wasn’t difficult to her to break the fence and leave,” Victoria Kozyreva, the zookeeper at Kharkiv Zoo who helped convince Chichi to return home, told NBC News on Wednesday. “After I heard that she left, I followed her to the square and began to talk to her.”
Chichi, who once resided at the Feldman Ecopark in the city’s northern suburbs, was relocated to Kharkiv Zoo after heavy fighting in early March, shortly after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of the country. The ecopark has since permanently closed due to the conflict, which has seen Kharkiv continue to face deadly shelling.
Around 4,000 animals from the ecopark were evacuated to other sanctuaries across Ukraine at the beginning of the invasion, according to the zoo. Six zoo personnel were killed in the shelling, it said.
