Aujourd'hui dans l'actu des Pitchouns, Ambre nous emmène aux USA. Un incident insolite s’est produit samedi soir lorsque la police est arrivée dans un zoo à Paso Robles, en Californie, et a découvert qu’un singe avait appelé le 911. Nommée Route, la femelle capucin âgée de 10 mois a accidentellement appelé les secours avec un téléphone laissé sans surveillance, appartenant à la directrice du zoo, Lisa Jackson. Cette dernière a rapidement compris ce qui s’était passé en voyant des policiers débarquer. L’appel de l’animal a surpris les autorités du comté de San Luis Obispo, mais ils ont tous pris la chose avec humour.

Qui a dit que les enfants ne pouvaient pas avoir accès aux actualités ? Ambre et Tristan vous informent dans le journal des Pitchouns, le rendez-vous info des enfants !
