Trained to love: but born a warrior.
Courtesy wordman1A chimpanzee has escaped from a So-Cal exotic animals refuge/training facility.

Normally I wouldn't give this a whole lot of thought, but after recognizing the unique name and striking features of the chimp's former owner, I realized that this is sort of a famous chimp that's now prowling the San Bernardino National Forest.

Did you ever read this post about the former NASCAR driver who had his foot, nose, and testicles ripped off by chimpanzees? It happened when he was visiting his former pet chimp, Moe. Well, that's the very same exotic animals facility, and it's Moe himself that has escaped!

Keep in mind that it wasn't Moe who savaged the guy (although does have a little biting in his past), and that Moe has been toilet trained and can eat with a knife and fork. So there's something of a little scholar, wandering around out there in the forest. Best of luck to you, Moe.
