Denver Zoo Declares ‘Code Red’ After Orangutan Escapes Enclosure

Visitors and staff at the Denver Zoo faced a tense moment last week when an orangutan managed to escape its exhibit, prompting the zoo to issue a “Code Red.” The incident was triggered by a malfunctioning gate, which allowed the orangutan to exit its usual enclosure. Fortunately, the escape didn’t lead to complete freedom; the orangutan ended up in a secured “behind-the-scenes” area adjacent to its habitat.

The Denver Zoo, located on over 80 acres in City Park, houses six Sumatran orangutans as part of its conservation efforts. While the escape was contained, any animal breach at the zoo is treated as a serious emergency. Since its opening in 1896, the Denver Zoo has been a trailblazer in animal care, being the first U.S. zoo to use naturalistic enclosures. Originally, the zoo’s first exhibit featured a donated orphaned American Black Bear, with the innovative “Bear Mountain” exhibit setting a precedent for animal habitats nationwide.

The zoo operates daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with entry closing at 4 p.m. Ticket prices range from free for children under two to $26 for adults aged 16 to 64.
