The two 19-year-old half-brother gorillas at the Kansas City Zoo were able to get out of their habitat when a gate that separates them from the zoo keepers was accidentally left open.

The zoo keepers quickly got out of there and zoo guests were escorted to a safe area.

The gorillas were eventually rounded up and returned to their habitat.

The gorillas got some unscheduled exercise and no one was harmed, a happy ending if you ask us.

Plus there was no ape uprising so that's good too!

Teaching Gorillas To Cooperate With Doctors

Filed under: Health • Zoo • Crazzzzy • Gorilla

A 400-pound silverback gorilla named Gino may look like a perfect example of a healthy animal.

But he actually has a bad heart.

So he needed an ultra sound, which is done best without any sedatives.

So how did they do it? Check out the above video to find out.

A Tourist Was Touched By Wild Mountain Gorillas

Filed under: Scary! • Amazing • Crazzzzy • Gorilla

We would literally be freaking out if that was us.

He said his heart was racing, but we'd literally be shazzing our pants if a WILD gorilla (that could totally rip your face off and snap you in half) came up and started playing with our hair.

So amazing though.

The vid is kinda long so skip to the 3:00 mark for the gorilla-on-man action.

Miley Cyrus Insists Alcohol Is 'Way More Dangerous' Than Weed! Shares Her New Priorities As An Adult & Artist!

Perhaps Amanda Bynes would have been better off giving Miley Cyrus her bong!

The We Can’t Stop singer interviewed with Rolling Stone magazine for their July 4th issue, and revealed her fairly liberal thoughts on drugs and alcohol.

Given her stoner reputation, we’re not totally surprised. Though, when asked to clarify her penchant for weed, she said:

"You can't ask someone that and expect them to say yes... I did a song with Snoop Dogg called 'Ashtrays and Heartbreaks,' so people can put it together for themselves."

That sounds fairly straightforward to us. Mileybird then went ahead to state that she thinks there are things much, much worse than a little bit of the green stuff:

"I think alcohol is way more dangerous than marijuana -- people can be mad at me for saying that, but I don't care... I've seen a lot of people spiral down with alcohol, but I've never seen that happen with weed."

She added:

"As long as it isn't illegal, there are far more dangerous things. And it's legal in the state of California. So I'm happy to live in California, a place where you can be whoever you want to be."

Well, Miley, marijuana isn’t exactly legal in California unless you have a prescription, so we’re not entirely sure what you mean. But, okay...

As for her transition from Disney teen idol to mature pop star, she said:
