The State - News from Nov. 21, 1988

An orangutan that escaped from a display enclosure at the San Diego Zoo earlier this month was put back on display and immediately made its fifth escape, a spokeswoman said. The 11-year-old, 100-pound female named Kumang was released for the first time since its Nov. 7 escape and found its way out of the exhibit again, making a beeline for the top of an aviary as visitors were cleared from the area. When Kumang came down to a low level, zoo workers hit her with a tranquilizer dart and ended her bid for freedom, zoo spokeswoman Georgeanne Irvine said.
