Could knife-wielding gorillas be heading to the South Bay?

Probably not, but I had to do SOMETHING to get your attention. There's a lot of competition on the Internet. A guy's got to stand apart from the crowd.

There WAS a knife-wielding gorilla but it wasn't anywhere near here. And not realizing exactly what it was holding, it didn't take anybody hostage and demand safe passage out of the zoo.

CALGARY -- There's no gorilla warfare going on at the Calgary Zoo.

Photographs taken after a keeper accidentally left a knife in the zoo's gorilla enclosure appear to tell a menacing story. One shows a gorilla, named Barika, clutching the blade in her black, hairy hand, seemingly pointing the sharp end at an unsuspecting troop mate sitting nearby.

But zoo officials say the primates don't understand the idea of using weapons and were never in any real danger.

A keeper carried the paring knife into the enclosure to help prepare food for the gorillas, said Cathy Gaviller, the zoo's director of conservation, education and research.
