According to reports from The Sun, zookeeper Valentina Kirilova had to defend herself from a“sex-crazed chimpanzee” that tried to rape her. The chimp was overly aggressive after Kirilova fed him Bananas, breaking her wrists as he tried pulling her into his cage. Kirilova, who’s worked with ape’s for quite some time was surprised that a primate would try mating with her: “I have spent a lot of time around the primates, but I’d never imagined that a lonely chimpanzee could see me as a sex object.”

In Kirilova’s account she remembers the chimp grabbing her wrist as she handed him his Banana. She then began screaming as the chimp tried to rape her inside his cage. Kirilova’s fellow zookeepers heard the screams and rushed to her aid.

Luckiliy Kirilova was able to get out before the chimp was able to do any damage. She is currently in stable condition and being treated for shock.
