Ken Allen was born in captivity at the San Diego Zoo in 1971. In 1985, Ken Allen gained worldwide attention for a series of three escapes from his enclosure, which had been thought to be escape-proof. During some of his escapes, his female companions would join him. Ken Allen's ability to outwit his keepers, as well as his docile demeanor during his escapes, resulted in fame. He had his own fan club, and was the subject of t-shirts and bumper stickers (most reading "Free Ken Allen"). A song, "The Ballad of Ken Allen", was written about him.

So this ape gets the most human name ever and starts doing human shit and nobody just considers he might need some more stimulation.

Like Koko the gorilla is doing some sign language and has a pet cat. Ken's breaking out of Alcatraz to have a leisurely stroll knowingly fucking with the zoo staff.
