The North Carolina Zoo in Asheboro temporarily closed its gorilla exhibit after one of the apes nearly made a break for it. A zoo spokesman said a branch from a tree fell into the exhibit last Sunday. One female gorilla tried to use the branch as a ladder to climb out of the exhibit, but she didn’t make it. The exhibit remained closed Tuesday while horticulturists checked nearby trees for loose limbs. Zoo officials think the branch came down after a storm on Saturday.
