Runaway chimp joins university class in Gaza



GAZA CITY- A female student at Al-Quds University in the Gaza Strip attended class on Saturday only to find she was not the first to arrive and had been beaten to it by a young male chimpanzee.
Alerted by her cries, campus police called a nearby zoo and were told that one of its chimps had made a dash for freedom, the university said.



"We had a surprise this morning when a fugitive chimpanzee from the zoo next door got into the university and began jumping around in a classroom, much to the consternation of students," an employee said.
The runaway was recaptured and is now safely back in his cage.
