As if the prospect of a 400-pound gorilla on the rampage wasn’t terrifying enough, the world gained a glimpse at the inner thoughts of a primate after he escaped from his cage at the Buffalo Zoo.

On Monday, Koga escaped from the upstate New York zoo into an aisle where a zookeeper was working, and bit her on the hand and calf. The zoo’s animal-escape team was able to tranquilize Koga before he could cause any more harm.

However, it seems that Koga managed to obtain a smartphone and learn how to tweet. Or, rather, he followed the trail and pawprints of the Bronx Zoo Cobra, Bronx Zoo Peacock, and Anfield Cat by having a human create a parody account for him.
