WTF?

so @BreakingNews tweets:
A bonobo ape confronted by a group of angry pregnant females managed to escape from an island at the Apenheul zoo in Holland; no injuries.

WTF DOES THAT MEAN!? is that a joke?!!
So I google it and find article:

Ape escapes in Dutch zoo, no visitors hurt

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Separated from his mother and confronted by a group of angry pregnant females, a bonobo ape didn't hesitate Thursday at a Dutch zoo.

Zamba ran through a 23-foot (7-meter) -wide moat surrounding the animals' island at the Apenheul zoo and straight into an area where dozens of shocked visitors were standing.

But there, the 11-year-old lived up to his species' reputation as peacenik primates and left the public alone until zookeepers ushered him safely back into captivity.

Nobody was injured in the Thursday morning escape, said Bert de Boer, a spokesman for the zoo in the central city of Apeldoorn.

"There was no panic," De Boer said.

Bonobos — often lauded as the "peaceful ape" — are known for their matriarchal society in which female leaders work to avoid conflict, and their sex-loving lifestyle. They originate in the central African country of Congo.

With his mother at the other end of the island, Zamba had nobody to turn to when he got into an argument about food and couldn't charm the mothers-to-be, the zoo said.

"Bonobos often resolve tensions with sex," the zoo said in a statement. "But in this case, through an unusual set of circumstances, Zamba couldn't manage it." It did not elaborate.

The zoo says it will review the security of its bonobo island, and particularly the moat's depth, following the escape.

I'm still thinking WTF? what kind of article is this? It's still confusing and raises even more questions regarding monkey sex?

jeez
