April 26 (UPI) -- Visitors were evacuated from an Australian zoo when an orangutan got out of his enclosure for the second time in four years.
The Melbourne Zoo confirmed Malu, a 15-year-old Sumatran orangutan, escaped from his enclosure just after 3 p.m. local time Friday.
Malu was recaptured and the zoo resumed normal operations by 4 p.m., a spokeswoman said. No visitors or staff members were injured during the incident.
The same orangutan previously escaped from his enclosure in 2015, using a blanket to get out of his cage. The means of his most recent escape were not revealed by the zoo.
