He had been chased by another more aggressive chimpanzee and managed to jump over the fence that was supposed to keep him out of the water.<\/p>\n<p>Jo-Jo panicked and struggled to keep his head above water. At the same time, about 10 shocked spectators looked on as he was drowning in the water.<\/p>\n<div id=\"newsner-a46f749c677110c3c5012a5f74868b46\" class=\"newsner-a46f749c677110c3c5012a5f74868b46 newsner-bluebillywig_instream\">\n<div id=\"newsner-1690600610\" class=\"newsner-bluebillywig_instream\">\n<div id=\"\">\n<div id=\"bb-iawr-newsner_english_playout-1601396675571335\" class=\"bb_iawr\">\n<div id=\"bb-wr-newsner_english_playout-1601396675571335\" class=\"bb-media bb_wrapper bb-muted bb-phase-init bb-mode-video bb-pendingplay\" data-flags=\"{}\" data-softembargoremainingtime=\"0\" data-sid=\"G6Zy5Dt2kD7j\" data-isready=\"true\" data-autoplaynextremainingtime=\"0\">\n<div class=\"bb-layer bb-content-layer\">\n<div class=\"bb-fitme bb-head-layer\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"bb-fitme bb-poster-layer\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><img class=\"bb-poster-image bb-poster-image-1\" alt=\"\" \/><img class=\"bb-poster-image bb-poster-image-2\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bb-layer bb-skin-layer bb-muted bb-phase-init bb-mode-video bb-pendingplay\">\n<div class=\"bb-skin-container phase-init svelte-ft9qq1 playing\" lang=\"en\" tabindex=\"0\" data-cy=\"skin-mode-main\" aria-label=\"Blue Billywig video player.
