Luck in misfortune
Monkeys instead of a soccer pitch: aviation enthusiast makes a faux pas
Bonobos instead of soccer fans: a Dutch air sportsman missed his target and landed in a monkey enclosure. Nevertheless, he could count himself lucky.
The man was probably really lucky: "A hundred meters further and he would have come down with either the elephants or the lions", reported Robin de Lange, the director of the Ouwehands animal park in the municipality of Rhenen (province of Utrecht).
Monkeys indoors
In addition, the monkeys - all bonobos - were trapped indoors at the time of the landing on Saturday afternoon. As reported by the ANP news agency, the flying sportsman was probably blown away by gusts of wind.

It was actually supposed to land on a nearby soccer pitch - as an attraction at the inauguration of the new artificial turf of the Candia '66 regional club.
