Escaped 'gorilla' takes a stroll in Saudi residential area!

• The animal was seen walking on its two feet in the middle of the street.

An escaped chimpanzee was seen strolling around a residential area of Saudi's capital city.

The wild animal was filmed and coaxed by several people to return to its cage.

Some even offered it a banana.

The video shows the 'gorilla' huddled next to the tyres of a car as some braver residents tried to bring it back to its home, as per Erem news report. It wasn't clear whether it fled from a circus or a private owner. Residents reported it wandered around for 30 minutes before police intervened and subdued the animal.

Tweeps have been going ape over the incident, with some calling for a ban on keeping wild animals as pets.
