Luckily the 400-pound gorilla was caught before it got into the public areas of the zoo.

Koga, a 24-year-old gorilla, was able to get out of his cage at the Buffalo Zoo.

No one is sure how he got out but no one questions that when his cage door was left unlocked he had no choice but to try for freedom.

Omg!

Lookout!

That seriously has got to be the scariest thing ever.

You're just outside, enjoying nature and then out of nowhere… the grizzly bear you're filming charges!!

Check out the above video to see if the hikers escape or get eaten ALIVE!

Shark fin soup is a cruel dish made by catching sharks, cutting their fins off, then tossing them back into the sea.

So not only is this meal crazy cruel, it's also potentially really dangerous.

We're surprised the secret service let Obama get so close to shark fin soup.

Remember when we previously mentioned he got take out from a San Fran restaurant that still served shark fin soup?

Anyway, scientists analyzed shark fins from Florida and found

Meredith Lowell, 27, from Cleveland Heights, Ohio, is being held by federal authorities after soliciting the services of a hit man.

Was it to take out a cheating husband? Or maybe to get revenge on someone who greatly wronged her in the past?

Nope!

She is charged with soliciting a hit man to fatally shoot or slit the throat of a random fur-wearer.

The FBI was notified back when she used an alias to create a Facebook page offering $830 to $850 for the hit.

That's an odd amount of money and a pretty low sum to get someone to MURDER someone for you.

The FBI had an employee posing as a potential hit man correspond with her via email where she offered to pay him $730 in jewelry or cash for the killing of a victim of at least 12-years-old but "preferably 14 years old or older."

WHAT??!

Oh and also the victim should be killed outside a library near a playground in her hometown.

This is disgusting.

She wrote in an email:

"You need to bring a gun that has a silencer on it and that can be easily concealed in your pants pocket or coat.

… If you do not want to risk the possibility of getting caught with a gun before the job, bring a sharp knife that is (at least) 4 inches long, it should be sharp enough to stab someone and/or slit their throat to kill them. I want the person to be dead in less than 2 minutes."

She said that she wanted to be on site so she could distribute "papers" afterwards so she could bring attention to her beliefs.

She hoped to be arrested so she could be taken away from her home where she lives with her parents and brother who eat meat and eggs and wear leather and fur.

We are SOOOO glad that they caught this crazy lady before she had a child MURDERED!

Way to go, FBI!

There has been a recent spike in rhino poaching, and it may lead the entire species right into extinction.

So park rangers have literally militarized.

This is crazy.

The have machine guns and run through drills and exercises so they can take on the poachers who kill poor rhinos just to get their horns.

26 poachers have died because of intense gun fights with the park rangers!

Check out the above video to hear more about their story.

At a zoo just 75 miles outside of Johannesburg, a zoo worker was killed by a lioness.

Joe Ramonetha, 63, was either feeding the 11-year-old lioness or cleaning her cage when she attacked him.

The lioness jumped up and bit him in the throat!

Co-workers heard his screams but he was dead by the time he got to the hospital.

Investigators said:

"It was evident that a terrible accident had occurred — gates were left open — the incident thus occurred due to human error."

A zoo manager said:

"The staff are trained to close all gates on entering the facility, to let the lions out into the outside camp area, secure the entrances to the night rooms and passage before any work commenced.

Joe was attacked in the staff passage and sustained a fatal bite wound to his throat."

Joe has left behind his wife and four adult children.

The zoo's managers are meeting now to decide what will happen to the lioness.

This is so sad.

Our hearts and thoughts go out to his family and friends.
