What is your worst incident that happened while you were at a zoo?

I tried looking for threads of this but didn't find any. Mine is a bomb threat on the Sante Fe Community Teaching Zoo and College the zoo was closed for the day everyone left. It was frustrating just because some stupid college kid probably didn't want to take some tests.
 
A keeper somehow managed to let a Caracal out of it's exhibit one day while I was working at the Jax Zoo. I forget exactly how it happened, but I'll never forget hearing over the radio a "Code Blue" and thinking "Wtf just happened?" Good thing it happened on a weekday during the school year so almost no one was there.
 
I was at the Toronto Zoo once and one of the meerkats had escaped into the African Rainforest Pavilion

Luckily, I was outside but the building went into lockdown and no one was alllowed in or out

The eventually caught it and It was safely returned to its exhibit
