An escaped male chimpanzee was captured by city officials after falling off an electricity pole in northern Japan on Thursday.
The chimpanzee escaped from the Yagiyama Zoological Park in Sendai city, Miyagi Prefecture, in the early afternoon, according to city officials.
The chimpanzee was on the loose for over an hour before climbing an electricity pole, where officials shot the simian with a sedative.

@stefanmyers3 years agoThe strength factor after being shocked shows you how powerful chimps are. A human would have folded immediately. Chimps are no joke. 245
@
@cutietaehee3 years ago while being shocked and sedated, that sudden grasp on the line was pure INSTINCT and save him from falling on such higher ground 391

@
@samn37633 years agoHe’s just trying to do his job, everyone acting like they haven’t seen a Lineman before 72
@
@sportslangtv21812 years agoI respect this chimp even he was almost died he still had the instinct to not fall and grab a wire quickly
@
@iamsick_gaminglast year just like planet of the apes swings and pulls a dart out his back 2
@
@McCrae_Estates3 years agoExpecting them to catch him with a sheet… nope, just the old concrete method 36
@
@ayeehl58863 years ago... great job👏!... I’m very pleased with the coordination and teamwork result of this event... another animal life saved👍🏻?... 7

@atifmir74093 years agoCurious George gets the shock of his life! 6
@
@Superdimensional3 years agoI love how they all have the matching uniforms like they work for Dr. Evil on Austin Powers lol 20
@
@jbrannon5093 years agoThat poor animal. He's already been in captivity then gets out and wants to climb but has no idea what electricity is and then ends up falling. It's sad. 16
@
@zoop21323 years agoAt least he didn't rip the face, nads, and fingers off the trank guy in the cherry picker. 29
@
@darthvader29803 years agoI don’t care what you think of me - I laughed the whole video, especially at the end. 17

@
@FingerBreakerWu8 months agoHe bounced off that building like the guy jumping off the Titanic and hitting the propeller. 😂
@
@SteamGrace3 years agoyou had the perfect opportunity to name this video "ape escape" but you DIDN'T
@
@HotdogJuice3 years ago You can see his body tense the moment the right hand made contact. Being shocked is not as dramatic as you see on television
@
@migtvill3 years agoI didn't even know he was being electrocuted until he fell. Goes to show how dangerous getting a shock is. No one will be able to really tell. 21
@
@idontevenknowanymore1113 years agoAt least they caught him so he didn’t crack his skull open or broke any bones 12
@
@Bambolyy3 years agoLiterally touched the small exposed spot where they sleeves the wire and didn’t re insulate it fully, tiny spot he hit with his right hand while his leg was on the poles cross arm brace, went phase to ground. 25
@
@mattprice43583 years agoHe definitely got into the load side of the system, Figured it would have happened sooner!
@
@foggyfrogy3 years agoYou know it's Japan when you need 100 people to rescue a monke
@
@arthurford86313 years agoThat ape was like this is a shocking experience
@
@darpe3 years agoThey're just keeping him from Godzilla.
@
@LTSRIDE243 years agoOmg! This was hard to watch! Poor guy! Is he okay? 1
@
@BigEkaneLives3 years agoI’m glad he fell to safety I was scared for him when he was falling 2
@
@bladeofaloneliness2 years agoThe chimp is actually smarter than I first thought
@
@billbright17553 years agoHe was checking for any weakness in the grid system. Hello lamppost, what ya knowing, I’ve come to watch your power flowing
@
@paulv75546 months agoAmazing how he grabbed that wire while falling.
@
@jameslaspesa68342 years agoThat was so cool. That monkey looked just like brother when he pissed on a electrical outlet
@
@HummusPvm3 years agoFor everyone talking about insulation or whatnot, watch 1.10. He grabs on to a tiny uninsulated wire spot and instantly gets stiff. Poor monke
@
@kristinaF5410 months agoI can't imagine those wires were live. I suspect they turned off the power or he'd be a crispy-chimpy in an instant. 1

@tekeppokappo3 years ago職員最後までちゃんとネット持ってたんだろうか? 「ドテッ」「うわっ、結構重いな、手離しちゃったよ」 1
@
@uhhh_adam3 years agoThat is so trippy for so many reasons :0
@
@andrewdow16093 years agowhat surprises me little is the fact that even after that electrocuted chimp hung there for 30 secs, the "rescue" crew still failed to catch him when there were 10 guys just 10' under him.
@
@officialkemal12693 years agoI thought he was just gonna fell in the rescue net but that wall there in the end really makes me think that the ape's dead
@
@zombie30413 years agoThis was in Japan, 2016. He still lives as of 2021 and we can see him in the same zoo. 2
@
@davidlewisassociatesrealre85173 years agoGood job with the catch guys...good job. 1
@
@zeemonkeyman13 years agoOkay everyone, is 100% an electric shock not the dart finally kicking in. A lot of people seem to be getting confused with that.
@
@oreocookie31653 years ago monke: fight back human fight back
@
@ElSmurfy3 years agoYoutube recommended be coming in clutch late at night..
@
@wactp95163 years agoI guess this is how poppy's playtime got that fall from.
@
@brandynmartinez20383 years agoThat chimp was not having that disrespect
@
@danieldiaz46923 years ago went Yeeeet! Once he touched that exposed line 🤣😂😅
@
@davidlewisassociatesrealre85173 years agoI knew he would get a charge frolicking about on those wires.
@
@LegendaryRadioJock2 years agoIf those were active power lines, the chimp would have been fried when it touched two separate power line wires at the same time.
@
@tallboywitshortpants3 years agoYou can see it’s face tensing up in anguish right before the final fall.
@
@hunter24422 years agoI see some people writing that he was tranquilized!? I thought he got an electric shock from the power lines.
@
@bigdaddydaddy3203last yearIt needed every bit of this it was beautiful how dare it yawn up there all nice and cozy I love v this video
@johntoes75422 years agoWhen they started lowering the bucket, that chimp was about to mess him up!
@
@mrb68043 years agoIm not sure but i dont think it helps to have the drag net laying on the ground to catch something falling lol
@
@rammbelgband2 years agothis sweet monkey gets an arrow in the back and get angry logical but love this monkey 1
@
@kufudokungfu3 years agoAt least the chimp fell to safety and didn't get zapped but the power lines
@
@MojoMountainMan7 months agoYou were stupid shooting him from that close, especially when a chimp is 5 times stronger than a man and can literally rip your face off. Nothing would have saved you if it would have jumped in the bucket with you. You were lucky to escape with your life, because that chimp was enraged. An enraged chimp is a very dangerous chimp. ...3
@
@peterjohnson84693 years agoHe was pissed and went after that guy.
