One ticked off Gorilla - at the Dallas Zoo
They have a silverback at Berlin Zoo that does this all the time. He sits perfectly still right by the window until he draws a big enough crowd of kids and parents, then BAM! he hits his fists against the window and scares the shit out of everyone. Short clip (poor quality) of it here. I am sure it is pure frustration and not fun for him though.
Poor creatures.
That being said, here is one of him hurling grass at the workers.
Feeding time for Polar Bear
Umm, she jumped in there on purpose:

... though I'm sure she regretted it the moment her feet left the ground.
This really should have been one for the Darwin Awards, but unfortunately the silly cow lived.

Polar bear cub threat
Today was the first time Knut was allowed to leave his room and go outside. N24 (the german CNN) did a 45min live coverage this morning ;-) This was the first time other persons than his keeper and the doctor were allowed in his closeness (all the footage was done by the doc until now).
Knut is now 113 days old and weighs just over 9kg (800g at birth...).
Today at Berlin Zoo there were camera teams, reporters etc. from all over the world (south africa, japan etc.). Even several school classes got the day off to see Knut (!).
The guys of Berlin Zoo are awaiting at least 10,000 people a day this weekend. Knut is shown from 11am to 1pm every day from now on in the brown bear´s enclosure. Those poor guys have to stay inside for that time...
Berlin Zoo is dependant on public funding, so they now use Knut as money machine: There´s the Knut song (no kidding), Knut cuddly toys etc.
Even the German 'Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency' (or environment minister or however you guys call him) is using Knut´s popularity (election´s are ahead and his party is very weak): He "adopted" the little bear. His agency is going to pay for his food for his lifetime.
You see, a lot going on around this little fellow...
That was your cuddle reporter Conan, live from Germany :-)
