An orangutan that escaped from its cage at a zoo forced authorities to close the airport in the central-western Colombian city of Pereira for around half an hour last week.
Panchito, 9, escaped Matecana Zoo and headed for the nearby airport. He was attracted by the noise of the airplanes.
The orangutan walked around the runway and the terminal. At first the workers and travellers were scared.

But many were won over by Panchito's friendly behavior . Some even ended up having their picture taken with him.
Zoo spokesmen said Panchito had always seemed curious about the planes that fly over the zoo.
The animal was caught after sitting down to look at a plane up close. Zoo veterinarians sedated him and took him back to his cage.
Airport manager Diego Lopez said planes stopped flying just in case, but that there was never a danger to the safety of flights.(DPA)
哥倫比亞中部偏西的佩雷拉市機場上週因為一隻動物園的紅猩猩逃跑，而被迫關閉了約半小時。
九歲的紅猩猩潘奇托因為被飛機的聲音吸引，從馬特坎那動物園逃走後就跑到鄰近的機場。

但潘奇托友善的舉動讓很多人放心，有些人甚至還跟他合照。
動物園發言人說，潘奇托一直對飛越動物園的飛機感到很好奇。
潘奇托在坐下近距離看飛機後被逮，動物園獸醫替他施打鎮靜劑後將他帶回他的小窩。
機場主管迪亞哥．洛佩茲表示，關閉機場只是以防萬一，其實情況並不會影響到飛航安全。

In 2023, an 80-year-old woman in Taipei suffocated her paralyzed son after over five decades of caring for him. Turning herself in immediately, she confessed that worsening health and anxiety about who would care for him after her death had driven her to act. The court, acknowledging her difficult situation, sentenced her to two-and-a-half years in prison while recommending a presidential pardon. This rare judicial recommendation drew a complicated social response. Supporters argue that the mother’s half-century of caregiving renders her deserving of compassion instead of incarceration, believing that allowing her to live her final years in dignity and
