30. The Chimp That Took Over the Zoo Intercom
At a zoo in Belgium, a young chimp named Toto managed to swipe a zookeeper’s walkie-talkie left on a bench. He quickly discovered that pushing the button made his screeches echo across the entire zoo. What followed was a half-hour of chimp chaos blaring from every speaker.
Visitors thought it was a bizarre new attraction. Zookeepers scrambled to track down the rogue broadcast, finally bribing Toto with bananas. He was clearly proud of his audio debut. The intercom was later upgraded—but not before someone sold “Toto Live!” T-shirts in the gift shop.
