A dog broke into the San Diego Zoo’s gorilla enclosure, was chased by silverback

A dog managed to find its way into the San Diego Zoo Safari Park’s gorilla exhibit on Sunday, according to local news station KGTV. While the dog was rescued without incident, video captured from distressed onlookers at the scene revealed a tense moment as a silverback gorilla began chasing the canine.

Park officials told the news station that two domestic dogs were loose inside the park, and one of those dogs jumped into the gorilla habitat around 4 p.m.

Both dogs were safely removed without incident. No harm came the canines, gorillas, staff or guests, park officials said. A video of the incident is now going viral on social media.

“Wildlife care specialists successfully recalled the two gorillas out of the habitat so the dog could be removed,” the park said in a statement. “Recall training is a part of the regular safety procedures at the Park.”

It is still unclear who owns the two dogs that were loose in the park or where they came from.
