If you go down to the zoo today...


Whatever you do, do NOT look directly at the gorillas. Ever.

On 18 May a gorilla named Bokito escaped at the Rotterdam Zoo. During his escape the animal attacked a female visitor who had made frequent eye contact with the animal. This presumably led to the attack, since gorillas do not like direct eye contact and take it as a challenge.

Health insurance company FBTO claims to offer simple solutions, so the weekend after the escape they distributed more than 2,000 branded 'BokitoViewers' at the entrance to Rotterdam Zoo.

Yes, it's true. All of it.
