    I have and I am a little ashamed to say that it was a goose that made me run for refuge. Cheers!

    The day after I visited the zoo in St. Paul, the silverback gorilla got loose. I don't know whether I was lucky or unlucky to have missed that.

    Yeah bad luck. If you were there you could of been a hero by putting the silverback gorilla in a headlock and tossing it back in it's cage. Cheers!

    No, but a cheetah escaped from our zoo years ago and was lying on the grass along side a street. They retrieved it safely.

    Was that after it had a big meal eating all the cats/dogs wandering around loose?  LOL

      My Canadian ex-wife snuck across the US/Canadian border and came to California looking for her alimony checks, does that count?

    Not sure where it had escaped from, but years ago an African lion was sighted in an American city in which I lived. I thought about driving around to find and see it, but this was before Google maps or smart phones, so I was afraid of getting lost.
