An escaped chimp named Judy was so hungry that she raided a kitchen cupboard, but made sure that she cleaned the toilet and scrubbed the refrigerator before authorities caught her. The 120-pound chimpanzee escaped at the Little Rock Zoo Tuesday into a service area when a zookeeper opened a door to her sleeping quarters, without being aware of Judy's presence. As the authorities tried to sedate Judy, she played havoc with a refrigerator where chimp snacks are stored, opened kitchen cupboards and pulled out juice and soft drinks. She also managed to have a sip or two from the soft drinks.
