Visitors at the San Diego Zoo in California were left in shock over the weekend after an animal went bananas.

A male gorilla charged his habitat, shattering one layer of the three-layer glass window.

Dramatic video shows the moment the western lowland gorilla stormed the tempered glass on Saturday.

Reactions from the crowd can be heard in the background — with zoo visitors gasping.

Zoo officials confirmed the incident to the New York Post, noting it was their 10-year-old gorilla named Denny who was responsible.

The 10-year-old gorilla was in the enclosure with another animal and was not injured.

“It is common for male gorillas, especially in adolescence, to express these types of behaviors,” the San Diego spokesperson told the NYP.

The spokesperson added that “bursts of energy, charging, dragging items or running sideways are all natural [behaviors] for a young male.”

Western lowland gorillas can reach 4 to 6 feet tall, weighing between 155 and 420 pounds, according to the Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens (LAZB).

This S.F. engineer wants to make it easier to park in the city, with a free app

Parking can be difficult in San Francisco neighborhoods like the Excelsior. But an engineer who lives in the city wants to make it easier with an app to help people park.

Carlos Avila Gonzalez/S.F. Chronicle

Anyone who has parked in San Francisco knows that each street presents myriad possible ways to get a ticket.

There are loading zones. Two- and four-hour restrictions. Scheduled street cleanings. Sprawling construction sites. Red “daylit” curbs to make crosswalks more visible. Hills where curbing wheels is mandatory.

Frustrated by the whole complex puzzle of rules and hard-to-read signs, a software engineer is cobbling an app to make them more legible. His invention, called “Ticketless,” would automatically detect when and where people have parked, and send notifications if they risk receiving a citation.

“I feel like a lot of people need this,” engineer Abdullah Zahid said of the app, which he hopes to unveil within the next few weeks. A resident of the Outer Richmond, Zahid has learned to navigate all the landmines of parking in San Francisco, including the regular 9 a.m. cleanings on his block. He knows the agony of circling for 20 minutes to find that one elusive parking spot at 6 p.m. in the Mission District, only to walk half a block and see a sign warning not to park there.

When Zahid advertised the concept on Reddit, his post went viral. As of Monday, Ticketless had roughly 1,000 people on a waiting list.

He is among a group of tech-savvy do-gooders — and pranksters — who are mining data from San Francisco’s public websites and trying to make it more accessible to regular people. Another such innovator, Patrick McCabe, developed an app called SolveSF, which uses artificial intelligence to ease the process of filing reports to the city’s 311 system.

City leaders do not always welcome these creations. When North Beach software engineer Riley Walz rolled out an app to track city parking officers in real time, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency quickly cut off the data source.

But Zahid’s mission seems to align with that of the SFMTA, in that he wants to help people park legally and safely, perhaps saving them from a colossally expensive mistake, or the headache of retrieving a car from a tow yard.

“Our ultimate goal for parking enforcement is compliance, and we welcome creative ideas if it means bringing safe and helpful reminders on how to properly park,” a spokesperson for SFMTA said in a statement, which included the agency’s own guide on legal parking. SFMTA declined to comment on the app specifically, without knowing precisely how it uses public data.

Zahid’s model largely relies on the city portal DataSF, combined with smart algorithms to decipher when and where people have parked, once they share their location. The app then cross-checks the parking spot with local regulations, determines when the driver has to move, and provides push alerts two hours in advance.

“There are no user accounts, no premium features, no in-app purchases,” Zahid said. “I’m not trying to monetize this. I think it should be free for everyone.”

At present, he has the app configured to find hourly restrictions, tow-away zones and commercial loading. He’d still like to make it more granular, possibly reminding people to turn their wheels on a sloped street, or recognizing the exact point where a red zone ends.

Maybe he’ll add those features in the next version.

The Denver Summit, the newest soccer team in the National Women’s Soccer League, will play its inaugural home opener at Empower Field at Mile High in March, the team announced on Monday.

The team, which was only just named this past July, will play at the home of the Denver Broncos until its temporary stadium and then its permanent stadium are completed. Earlier this year, Denver NWSL announced plans for a new 14,500-seat stadium near Interstate 25 and Broadway that’s expected to open in 2028.

“This will be an unforgettable moment for our club, our players, our city and our fans,” Denver Summit FC President Jen Millet said in a statement on Monday. “We’re honored to play our first home match and host ‘The Kickoff’ in such an iconic stadium. We’re grateful to the community for the incredible support to help us reach this moment.”

The team’s ownership group, which progressively grew over the summer, includes Peyton Manning, Mikaela Shiffrin, Mellody Hobson, Molly Coors, and Rob Cohen.

“We are honored to support Denver Summit FC for their inaugural match at Empower Field at Mile High,” said Broncos President Damani Leech. “This venue has hosted many memorable moments in Colorado sports history, and we look forward to working together to bring a best-in-class experience for Summit FC fans.”

While the opposing team hasn’t yet been announced, tickets will go on sale on Wednesday, Nov. 12 and can be purchased at www.denversummitfc.com.

Seattle Mariners’ Raleigh, Wilson named MLB award finalists

Seattle Mariners’ Raleigh, Wilson named MLB award finalists

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh and manager Dan Wilson have each been selected as finalists for two of MLB’s most prestigious awards.

This is a big week for the Seattle Mariners and Jorge Polanco’s future

Raleigh was named as one of three finalists for the American League MVP and Wilson as one of three finalists for AL Manager of the Year during an MLB Network broadcast on Monday.

Raleigh was nominated alongside New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge and Cleveland Guardians third baseman José Ramírez.

The 28-year-old catcher is coming off a record-setting year in which helped the Mariners win their first AL West title and reach their first AL Championship Series in 24 years. He mashed 60 home runs, becoming just the seventh player in MLB history to reach the historic mark. In the process, he broke Mickey Mantle’s home run record for switch-hitters (54) and Salvador Perez’s for catchers (48). He also became the first player to hit 20 home runs from each side of the plate in a single season.

Raleigh slashed .247/.359/.589 with a .948 OPS, 161 wRC+ and an AL-leading 125 RBIs over 159 games this season. His 9.1 fWAR was the second most of any AL player, trailing only Judge’s 10.1.

The last Mariner to win AL MVP was Ichiro Suzuki in 2001.

While Ramírez is included in the race, it’s widely known to be a two-man showdown between Raleigh and Judge.

New York’s slugging outfielder led MLB in all three triple-slash categories at .331/.457/.688 with a 1.114 OPS, 53 home runs and 114 RBIs. No other AL player had an OPS of 1.000. His 204 wRC+ was also 38 points higher than the next AL batter.

Judge has a clear advantage over Raleigh in just about every offensive category outside of home runs and RBI, but Raleigh’s case carries the argument of playing a premium defensive position and having an unmeasurable impact as an everyday catcher. Raleigh, who logged 1,072 innings behind the plate in 2025, played nearly 250 more innings in the field than Judge (822 1/3 innings).

Wilson, who took over in late August 2024, went 21-13 in the team’s remaining 34 games last season. This year, the Mariners finished the regular season with a record of 90-72, with Wilson becoming the first manager in club history to take the team to the postseason or win a division title in his first full season.

Wilson is joined by former Mariners bullpen coach and reigning AL Manager of the Year Stephen Vogt of the Cleveland Guardians and Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider as finalists for manager of the year.

Wilson is vying to join two-time winner and fellow Mariners Hall of Famer Lou Piniella (1995 and 2001) as the only managers in club history to win the award.

The MVP and manager of the year awards are voted on by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. The winners will be announced Nov. 13 at 3 p.m. on MLB Network.
