ORANGUTAN "LAUNCHES" POSSUM AT ZOO LEAVING ONLOOKERS TERRIFIED

DW: Reason number 2 I want to go down under...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Sometimes nature can be downright terrifying. An orangutan at an Australian zoo scared the pants off some visitors when it grabbed a possum and “launched” it from the top of its enclosure after the marsupial got too close.

A viral vid shows the primate chucking the possum through the air from a tall metal tower at the Perth Zoo, on Australia’s west coast. After pitching the possum, the orangutan peaks out of the enclosure to see where the critter ended up. So, how does the zoo feel about the incident? They stated in an interview, “Obviously the loss of any living creature saddens us, but also it's nature playing out.”
