Flames from flying New Year's Eve lanterns might have sparked a blaze that killed dozens of monkeys at a zoo in northwestern Germany, management and security services said on Wednesday. The blaze tore through the monkey enclosure shortly before midnight, killing at least 30 animals, police said.
The enclosure housed gorillas, orangutans, chimpanzees and marmosets. Only two chimpanzees survived, as well as a family of gorillas in a nearby building. "Our worst fears have been realised," Krefeld zoo, which specialises in primates, announced on its Facebook page. Tearful visitors lit candles and left flowers and soft toys at the entrance of the zoo on Wednesday.
