And there should be several ladders installed all along the gorilla enclosure, cause you never know where a baby is gonna drop in from. And now that I think about it, maybe hang a few apples and bananas at the top of the ladders to reward the gorillas for child rescue efforts. Perhaps they'll learn something about fair exchange transactions and develop their own economic models.
