Baby orang utan dies in a freak accident at the zoo

TRAGEDY struck the zoo's orang utans a second time in a week, when a young female orang utan died of a dislocated neck in a freak accident on Wednesday.

At mid-day, Atina, aged 2 1/2, caught her neck in a hanging noose, which was part of a hammock in the apes' enclosure.

Her mother Anita and other orang utans, in their haste to free her, tugged at her neck, dislocating it.

She died instantly, said a zoo spokesman.

NB
The first tragedy was when Ah Meng, Singapore's most beloved orang utan died during CNY period.
